The influence of the obesidade in the functional capacity of women above of yers
Abstract
The goal of this studies is to verify the effect ofaging, Waist x Hips Relationship (W.H.R), weight, height, lean body mass, body fat and the functional abilities of women 51 years old on, to accomplish the ordinary daily chores. The studied group was of 73 women pre-over-weight, and obesity type I and II, who willingly were submitted to physical performance evaluation tests (height, weight, body mass measure, W.H.R.) and to functional capacity tests ( standing up and sitting down on a chair within 30 seconds and upper members dynamometry). The statistical analyses used were the correlation of Pearson’s Coefficient. In the over-weight group there was no relevant difference between the studied tends, however in the obesity type I group were found (r = -0.61) between the trends of Body Mass Index (BMI) and speed of standing from a chair within thirty seconds indicating, therefore, a perfect negative correlation. Was noticed in obesity type II group the correlation among the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the upper left member dynamometry and heart risk (r = 0.66) is a perfect negative correlation. While it was found (r = 0.50) in relation to the upper left member indicating a perfect positive correlation between the trends.
