ABSTRACT
Objective: to verify the relationship between functional mobility and muscle strength in a group
of elderly people participating in a public program of physical activities, called “Programa Mexase”, in the Joinville/SC city. Methods: This was a quantitative, correlational descriptive study,
carried out in a non-probabilistic, intentional type. Included a random sample of 42 elderly people
(27 women and 15 men), aged between 60 and 75 years, to whom two balance tests were applied:
the Sit and Stand Test (TSL) and the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT). The elderly also answered
a questionnaire about sociodemographic factors, health and physical activity. Results:
Statistically significant (p<0.05) relationships were found for TUGT, evidencing that there is
astatistically significant correlation between TUGT and TSL (p <0.022). Regarding the values
obtained for TSL with TVM, it also observeda significant correlation (p <0.000), as well as
toTUGT and TVM (p <0.003). Conclusion: This study showeda correlation between the
functional mobility of the elderly through TSL and TVM tests result. Alsodemonstrated that the
group participating in the program had positive resultsregarding the level of physical activity
practiced. This results indicates the importance of optimization in the prevention and
rehabilitation programs for the elderly, to maintain the functional mobility of elderly community
members and reduce the body mass index.

INTRODUCTION
Aging is a natural process for humans and, as a result of time,
changes and deterioration, such as: deficits in functional capacity and
physiological alterations, start to occur in the entirehuman body
system. These changes occur in an idiosyncratic way, evolving
progressively (BRASIL, 2014). In this sense, Motta (2004)
emphasizes that chronological aging begins in childhood, and is
easily measurable, while biological changes associated with age are
difficult to measure. Fechine and Tompieri (2012), observing the
aging process and the main changes that happen to the elderly over
the years, highlight thatit is possible to noticethat the primary aging is
genetically defined or pre-programmed, andit is present in all the
people of the world. On the other hand, the secondary aging is the
resultof external influences, that is, the variable between individuals
in different environments, influenced by characteristics resulting from
cultural, geographical and chronological factors. Estimates project
that the number of elderly people by 2025 will exceed 30 million in
Brazil, and old age may be accompanied by high levels of chronic
diseases, reducing the health and well-being (DEBERT, 1999; LIMA,
2003; LIMA; SILVA; GALHARDONI, 2008). This increase in the
elderly portion of the population pyramid bringing more notoriety to
the demands of the group, such as the diseases that affect them. Thus,
challenges for health professionals involved in the care of the elderly
become more frequentas the group increases. It is noteworthy that the
aging process compromises the ability of the central nervous system
to process vestibular, visual and proprioceptive signals, that are
responsible for maintaining body balance, as well as reducing the
ability to modify reflexes (BARIN, 2011). It is also interesting to note
that, with aging, chronic-degenerative disordersbecome more
frequent. These diseases affect their autonomy and independence to
perform daily tasks, therefore, affect the life quality of this population
(CARDOSO et al., 2012). In the search for actions to improve the
elderly life quality, studies have shown that the regular practice of
physical activities is essential to improve and maintain their
functional capacity.Making the elderly maintain and improve their

independence and autonomy, in addition to reducing the risk of noncommunicable diseases, depression and cognitive decline (WHO,
2006; 2015).According to Maciel (2010), the practice of physical
activity, such as aerobic, associated with muscle strength and
enduranceexercises, is a factor in preventing and monitoring illnesses
caused by old age. Lins and Corbucci (2007) report in their study the
reasons that lead individuals aged 60 years and over to exercise
regularly. The main reason identified was for pleasure, followed by
the intention to improve health. This shows that information about
thehealth benefits of physical activity as a form of prevention to the
bio psychosocialpsychosocial problems of the elderly is widespread
(MACIEL, 2010). The present research aimed to verify the
relationship between functional mobility and muscle strength in a
group of elderly people who participated in a public physical activity
program “Programa Mexa-se” in the Joinville city.
METHODS
This is a quantitative comparative descriptive study, part of a larger
one. The research project was approved by the “Comitê de Ética em
Pesquisas em Seres Humanos da Faculdade IELUSC” under the
numbernº. 3.275654/2019. All participants signed an Informed
Consent Form.
Study Participants: From a total of 42 elderly people who
participated in the “Programa Mexa-se”, held at Arena, Bucarein
neighborhood of Joinville-SCcity, 27 elderly women and 15 men
aged 68 years or more, randomly selected, were evaluated. One
participant over the age of 84 years was excluded. All participants
had been attending the “Programa Mexa-se” for more than three
months, carried out by the “Secretaria de Esportes de Joinville”
(SESPORTE). TheSESPORTE, concerned with the health, leisure,
well-being andpopulation’slife quality, implemented in august 2014
the “Programa Mexa-se”. it is a programthat performs systematic
physical activities in groups for free, involving: gymnastics, dances,
monitored walking, postural and breathing exercises, stretching and
relaxation.There is always a professional from the physical education
area who supervises the actions, in addition the program has the
participation of physical education monitors, who teach the practices
of physical activities. The activities offered take place from march to
November with two (2) weekly classes with an average duration of
one (1) hour. The “Programa Mexa-se”, which is configured as a
continuous activity, proposes an action aimed at the practice of
regular physical activity, the incorporation of healthy habits, social
inclusion and serves the community in adulthood. It works in four
axes:“Mexa-se RUN”, “Mexa-se Funcional”, “Mexa-se Esportes
Adaptados” and “Mexa-se ginásticas e ritmos”. The last one was
evaluated and is part of this study.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACMS) and
American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines the recommendation
for older adults is similar to the updated ACSM/AHA adult
recommendation, but has several important differences.Amongst
them: the recommended intensity of aerobic activity takes into
account the aerobic fitness of the adult; activities that maintain or
increase flexibility are recommended; and balance exercises are
recommended for seniors at risk of falling. In addition, seniors must
have an activity plan to achieve the recommended physical activity
that integrates preventive and therapeutic recommendations. The
promotion of physical activity in the elderly should emphasize
aerobic activity of moderate intensity, muscle-strengthening activity,
reduction of sedentary behavior and risk management (NELSON et
al, 2007). According to Malafaia et al. (2019), during the aging
process, physical and metabolic changes are observed. The reduction
in aerobic capacity, changes in body constitution and the emergence
of complications resulting from chronic diseases can lead to reduced
independence and a significant increase in morbidity and mortality.
Therefore, the importance of a structured plan with exercise
prescription is based on four fundamental points that must be
addressed in an integrated and continuous way: aerobic exercises,
flexibility, balance and muscle strength (NELSON et al., 2007). It is
worth noting that only the group of gymnastics from the Núcleo da
Arena participated in this study, and that they participate in the
gymnastics program (with coordination exercises, agility, balance
muscle strength and fundamentally with rhythms, this happens for
female elderly and for the male elderly the activities performed are:
functional conditioning, upper and lower limb strength exercises,
coordination, balance and walking.
Measuring Instruments: The assessments were initiated through a
questionnaire, in an interview form,covering sociodemographic,
health and physical activity aspects. The following study instruments
were also used to assess the functional mobility of the elderly: The
Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) by Schoene et al. (2013), which is
part of Rikli's Senior Fitness Test (SFT) battery; and Jones (2008) to
assess lower limb strength. To classify the participants physical
activity level(low, moderate orhigh), the International Physical
Activity Questionnaire - short version form (VALIM-ROGATTO;
CANDOLO, 2011) and (NAHAS, 2013) was used. To assess muscle
mass, a predictive equation was used (SOARES; MARCELINO;
MAIA, 2017) establishing the Total Muscle Mass Index ranging from
5.9 to 9.5 kg.m2, calculated by equation (1), where the Index of Total
Muscle Mass is expressed as IMMT (kg.m2) = MMT / E2. Total
Muscle Mass (MMT) = 0.244 PC + 7, 80.E1 - 0.098.I + 6, 6.S + Et 3.3. Where PC is the body weight, in kg; E1 is the height, in meters; I
age, in years; S is the sex (male = 0 and male =1); Ethnic ethnicity
(Cauasians = 0, Asians = -1.2 and Afro-descendants = 1.4). It was
also used a digital scale, with a resolution of 50g, to measure the
body mass (Model OMRON), with a capacity of 150 kg, a
Stadiometer with a resolution of 1 mm to measure the height (Model
ES2020 Brand Sanny®, BR). After determining the Body Mass Index
(BMI), the participants were classified into three groups: Low weight
<22 kg/m2; Eutrophic 22 to 27 kg/m2; and Overweight >27 kg/m2.
This classification of nutritional status based on BMI was proposed
by the Nutrition Screening Initiative. These cutoff points were
adopted for the elderly in Brazil according to recommendations of
“Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional” (SISVAN).
Data Analysis
Data tabulation and analysis was performed using the GraphPad
Prism 6® software. Descriptive statistics data were obtained. To
verify the relationship between functional mobility and the other
variables (BMI, age, TGUT, TSL and TVM), the Pearson Correlation
Test was used, with a significance level of 95% (p<0.05).
RESULTS
All study participants were classified as having a good level of
physical activity, only the maximum age grouppresented an
overweight classification in the anthropometric assessment, as shown
in Table 1 with the descriptive statistics data (means and standard
deviations) for each controlled variable. As the BMI was used as a
reference to classify the participants involved in the study, a
correlation analysis was also performed between this variable and the
others, as shown in Table 1.

During the test, the elderly person was instructed to get up, walk a
linear course of three meters, make a 180º turn and return and sit
down again, supporting arms and back in the same chair, the entire
test period has been timed. The timing starts when the elderly person
takes the column from the chair and ends when it leans back. A digital
stopwatch was used and the exact location of the chair, as well as the
return point, three meters ahead, were clearly marked with yellow
gold adhesive tape. All seniors belonging to the program were
evaluated in a single month, in a large sports training room at Arena
Joinville. According to the results indicated by PODSIADLO and
RICHARDSON(1991): (1) TUGT up to ten seconds - elderly with no
change in balance and with low risk of falls; (2) TUGT between 11
and 20 seconds - elderly without significant change in balance, but
with some frailty and medium risk of falls; (3) TUGT greater than 20
seconds and less than 30 seconds - elderly in need of intervention; (4)
TUGT greater than 30 seconds - elderly at high risk of falls and
dependent individuals in activities of daily living (ADLs) and with
altered mobility. In this study, parameters of muscle strength and
functional mobility of the lower muscle limbs were investigated. In
the analysis of Pearson's correlation, it is possible to notice a high
correlation between the tests TUGT (r>0.35),for TSL and TUGT
(r>0.45) above all, and for TVM; TSL(r>0.68) TVM as the value (p
0.003), respectively, in which it presents a sign of significant validity
(p<0.05) (GARCIA, 2007).
To assess the degree of functional mobility, the timed stand up and
walk test (TUGT) was used. In its result, no statistical difference was
detected between the TUGT means presented by genders, both in the
community (p>0.05) and in the LSIE (p>0.05). Men and women
living in the LSIE had a significantly higher mean TUG than men and
women in the community (p<0.01). A significant difference was
detected between the TUG means, when compared in terms of age
group (p=0.003). Functional mobility is greater among the elderly
living in the community, and that men and women have a similar
level of performance in functional mobility, which decreases with
age, in all age groups. In comparison with this study, although (n <)
the participants obtained a very expressive result in the TUG Test (p
0.0022), thus attributing that the practice has brought benefits in the
muscle strengthening of the elderly. In the study carried out by Souza
et al. (2013) the aim is to evaluate and compare a measure of
functional mobility in elderly people living in the community and in a
long-term care institution for the elderly (ILPI), and verifying its
relationship with age and gender in different locations. A total of 413
elderly people participated in this study, 72 of whom were
institutionalized (80.9 ± 8.1 years; 53 women) and 341 from the
community (69.8 ± 7.5 years; 269 women).
DISCUSSION
As age advances, structures related to locomotion are also altered.
Bones become more fragile and thus there is a greater risk of
fractures.There is a loss of muscle mass and strength, with difficulties
in maintaining balance and, as a consequence, the elderly may show
decreased agility, walk slower and dragged (SANTOS, 2010). The
present study observed that functional mobility presents a correlation
withTUGT, age and other variables. Although the literature shows
that aging can cause several structural and functional changes in the
elderly for this study, the particularities of the individuals and
socioeconomic data were not taken into account. The group has a
good level of physical activity. In the present study, the TUGT, TSL
and TVM tests were correlated with each other and with BMI and
Age. Lemos et al. (2006) highlight that the loss of functional
independence, resulting from the inability to walk in the elderly,
whether due to functional limitation or fear of falling,has been the
main cause of the occurrence of hip fractures. Another factor is
physical inactivity, which worsens osteoporosis and thus increases the
risk of falls and, consequently, new fractures. Based on
studiesperformed by MACIEL et al. (2005), SIQUEIRA et. al. (2007)
and ALVARES et al. (2010), regarding a higher prevalence of falls in
the elderly, they concluded that: the older the person gets, the greater
it is the risk of falling. This is due to the reduction in the quality and
quantity of information necessary for efficient postural control.
Groisman (2002) explains that the rate of decline of physiological
functions is exponential, that is, during the aging process, there are
functional losses that are accelerated with increasing age. In this
sense, there is a cumulative effect of functional changes, with
progressive degeneration of the mechanisms that regulate the
responses of cellular and organic phases. Associated with it, external
aggressions lead to a functional imbalance in the body, in general,
showingthe importance of actions aimed at evaluation and prevention
inthe elderly health (BRASIL, 2009). During the stages of life, the
individual undergoes the main biological changes: decreased muscle
mass and bone density; loss of muscle strength; impaired agility,
motor coordination and balance; impaired joint mobility, greater
rigidity of cartilage, tendons and ligaments; decreased
thermoregulatory capacity; greater ventilatory work on exertion;
impaired liver and kidney function; smaller number and size of
neurons; decreased reaction time and nerve conduction (LIMA,
2014). Moura et al. (2012) analyzed the effects of strength, balance
and stretching training on the functional mobility of the elderly and
observed benefits in elderly women with low bone mass in both the
control and trained groups.
Kemmler et al. (2003; 2007) mention, regarding the prevention of
bone loss, high impact exercises proved to be more efficient, as this
type of exercise requires greater bone strength.Thus, exposing these
bones to episodes of stress can have positive effects on the rigidity of
these bones, althoughmay cause fractures, when they are exposed to
extreme stress. Based on the data obtained in the study carried out by
Santos et al. (2010),it is possible to state that physical exercise is
considered an important factor in both the prevention and treatment
of osteoporosis. It was possible to verify that the exercises have
specificities. Those most used in the treatment of osteoporosis were
characterized as low and medium intensity since the bones of the
elderly affected by osteoporosis can be fractured if exercises that
produce great impacts are used. It is also noteworthy that the
exercises that act to improve balance and coordination are efficient in
the treatment, as they can reduce the risk of falls that could cause
fractures for those affected by the disease. It was also observed that
the exercises used to prevent osteoporosis were characterized as high
intensity, as they significantly increase bone mineral density and
because, as in prevention, the person does not have osteoporosis, the
risk of fractures is lower (SANTOS et al., 2010). Therefore, pointing
out the aspects of functional mobility and muscle strength in the
elderly, it is correct to state that, as the mechanical properties of the
muscle-tendon complex and the muscle capacity to produce strength
leading the elderly to a predisposition to fall and possible bone
fractures, studies point out that stretching exercises, sometimes
associated with other types of activities, allow for the increase and
maintenance of a joint range of motion, as they alter the viscoelastic
characteristics of the musculature and modify its behavior in dynamic
activities. According to the proposed objective of this study, which
was to verify if there is a relationship between strength and functional
mobility, thus contribute to the planning of physical activity actions
in the program. it was possible to realize that strength training is one
of the therapeutic conductsto alleviate muscle weakness with
advancing age. A sport that is capable of providing very expressive
gains in muscle strength, which can be performed with the help of
some materials, such as dumbbells, rings, bars, elastic devices, in
rehabilitation clinics and physical activity gyms (MEDEIROS, 2010).

Final Considerations
This study found a correlation between functional mobility in muscle
function of the elderly's lower limbs, through TSL and TVM,and
demonstrated that the group participating in the program had positive
results. This indicates the importance of optimizing prevention and
rehabilitation programs for the elderly, including activities such as
strength, coordination, and balance exercises, besidesmaintaining the
functional mobility of community elderly people. We also highlight
that the participating group is overweight, it is suggested to intensify
activities to reduce the BMI.
