Effects of physical exercise to improve the flexibility in knee joint in non sedentaries obeses in comparison to sedentary obeses
Abstract
Flexibility is the maximum passive range of joint movement, one of the main components of physical fitness and health. His influence can reach several aspects of human movement, which highlights the motor improvement, mechanical efficiency, the prevention of injuries, expressiveness and body awareness. Our aim was to evaluate the difference in the degree of flexibilityin the knee joints in obese sedentary and exercised. Identifying possible improvements in the functional capacity of obese exercised and reduced associated pathologies. For this research were evaluated eighteen volunteers of both sexes who had degree of obesity 1. Among the nine patients evaluated are practitioners of physical exercise walk type, with daily practice at least three months and nine sedentary. The individuals trained were recruited in Leisure Square "St. Therese" in the city of Taubaté-SP, and not exercised were recruited inAnhanguera College of Taubaté-SP. The flexibility of the knee flexion was analyzed by goniometry between the two obese groups. Comparing the average found big difference. The inactive obese knee had an average degree of flexibility of 87.75 ± 9.85 degrees with a mean BMI 32.60 ± 0.91 (Figure 3) while the average degree of flexibility of the knee was exercised obese 134 3 ± 2.5 degrees. It is concluded that regular physical exercise plays an important role in rehabilitation strategy of this population, is fundamental in the prevention of orthopedic diseases.
