背景：特定的研究工具和设计可以帮助确定老年妇女体力活动的效率。目的：确定身体活动对老年妇女身体状况的影响。方法：对60岁或以上的妇女实施为期一年的体力活动计划（123次）。进行了四项身体评估，其中评估了体重、身高、BMI、血压、心率、缺勤、握力、柔韧性、最大摄氧量以及静态和动态平衡。统计分析包括重复测量分析，包括推断（方差分析- ANOVA）和效应大小（Cohen d系数），以及参与者效率的识别（数据包络分析- DEA）。结果如下：尽管观察到的差异取决于所使用的分析，但结果是成功的，因为它们表明，根据研究目的，适合老年妇女的体育活动可以有效地改变与衰老相关的体能下降。60-65岁的人群最有能力将身体活动转化为短期和长期的健康益处。65岁以上的人较少参加体育活动。结论：坚持该计划和实际时间花在每种类型的运动是决定哪些人群可以受益于体育活动计划的因素。DEA允许从健康问题的角度评估与体力活动时间相关的结果。文章在Clinicaltrials.gov上注册，编号为NCT 01558401。
Background: Specific research tools and designs can assist in identifying the efficiency of physical activity in elderly women. Objectives: To identify the effects of physical activity on the physical condition of older women. Method: A one-year-long physical activity program (123 sessions) was implemented for women aged 60 years or older. Four physical assessments were conducted, in which weight, height, BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, absences, grip strength, flexibility, VO2max, and static and dynamic balance were assessed. The statistical analyses included a repeated measures analysis, both inferential (analysis of variance - ANOVA) and effect size (Cohen's d coefficient), as well as identification of the participants' efficiency (Data Envelopment Analysis - DEA). Results: Despite the observation of differences that depended on the analysis used, the results were successful in the sense that they showed that physical activity adapted to older women can effectively change the decline in physical ability associated with aging, depending on the purpose of the study. The 60-65 yrs group was the most capable of converting physical activity into health benefits in both the short and long term. The >65 yrs group took less advantage of physical activity. Conclusions: Adherence to the program and actual time spent on each type of exercise are the factors that determine which population can benefit from physical activity programs. The DEA allows the assessment of the results related to time spent on physical activity in terms of health concerns. Article registered in Clinicaltrials.gov under number NCT01558401.
