Item Programa de entrenamiento recreativo en base al fútbol para la funcionalidad física del adulto mayor(2025-03-13) Rivera Comina, Lisbeth Ivonne; Flores Robalino, Rosita Gabriela; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Centro de PosgradosThe physical funtionality refers to the ability to carry out daily activities autonomously in the environment. The recreational football offers a modern approach that encourage both social cohesion and the practice of physical activity, key factors to improve or maintain this functionality. Therefore, the objective of this Project was to determine the effects of a recreational training program in the physical functionality of elderly. The sample included 30 elderly between 67 and 82 years old, who belong to “San Juan de Agua Santa” community in Pujili Canton. All participated in a training program based on football, which was developed during 12 weeks with a frequency of three times a week. The participants were evaluated before and after the intervention thought the Senior Fitness Test (SFT) battery and the Lawton and Brody escalation. During the training, the exercises were adapted incorporating technical, recreational and physical components, with simple and combined exercises, both with and without a ball. Each week, the number of repetitions, the difficulty and the time of the activities were gradually increased. Fort he stadistical analysis, the SPSS program was used. The results show significant improvements in the physical functionality of elderly who reach high and moderate levels of physical functionality. In addition, changes were observed in the levels of performance in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living. It concludes that the recreational training program base don football is beneficial to improve the physical functionality of elderly since it strengthens their physical capacities leading to a better performance in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living. These areas are closely related, since physical functionality is essential to optimally execute daily tasks that require strength, flexibility, aerobic endurance and agility.Item Estimulación Basal en problemas de equilibrio en los adultos mayores(Universdidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de posgrados, 2021-07-01) Pozo Martínez, Fátima Sofía Lcda; Cedeño Zamora, María Narciza Lcda. Mg.Part of the life cycle is the physical and mental ageing of the human body that is related to the deterioration of walking and balance, presenting a high rate of falls in older adults. The presented research is a descriptive investigation which uses a quantitative approach of a quasi-experimental type and cross-sectional section. It was developed in the Gerontological Day Center "El Buen Samaritano", City of Mera, province of Pastaza. The purpose of the research was the application of Basal Stimulation on balance problems in older adults, an attempt was made to reduce medical visits as a result of falls that cause fractures, chronic ailments, psychological and family problems and even social isolation; considering that this population was part of an active group in its productive age, it is necessary to contribute to the physical, mental, familiar and social health of this ethereal group. At the beginning of the research when analyzing the basal stimulation in balance problems in older adults, it was identified that in the whole population assessed only two older adults were independent in static and dynamic balance and the remaining 80% could walk with help, having between moderate and high risk of falls, otherwise, at the end of the investigation significant results were obtained, in first place the older adults improved their balance and went from a level of being able to walk with help to being independent in static and dynamic balance and in second place reducing the risk of falls to a low level, improving their lifestyle.Item Aplicación de un Protocolo de Ejercicios con Facilitación Neuromuscular Propioceptiva para mejorar rango y fuerza muscular en adultos mayores con dolor de rodillas.(2021-07-01) Manzano Vinueza, Gabriela Cristina Lcda. Ft.; Latta Sánchez, María Augusta Lcda. Ft.MgKnee pain is one of the main problems for the population over 65 years old and is related to degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis. Exercises with the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique (PNF) have been suggested as an alternative rehabilitation treatment to reduce the impacts of this frequent symptom. The purpose of this project was to apply an exercise protocol with the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique to improve range of motion and muscle strength in older adults with knee pain. Twenty older adults with an age range between 65 and 80 years from the Atahualpa parish participated, all of them performed the protocol for 12 weeks with a frequency of 1 session per week. The patients were evaluated before and after the intervention using the numerical pain rating scale, goniometric test and Daniels test. The resistance, difficulty and number of repetitions applied in the lower limb diagonals were gradually increased. The SPSS program was used for statistical analysis. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis that the parameters tested: pain, joint mobility and muscle strength improved after the use of PNF techniques. It is concluded that the three specific techniques: Rhythmic Initiation, Dynamic Inversions and Contraction-Relaxation belonging to the concept of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation applied in an exercise protocol increase physical capacities such as mobility and muscle strength in the older adult population aged 65 to 80 years. Future and more extensive research is necessary considering the variables or limitations that may have intervened in this study.Item Establecer la Efectividad de la Ritmoterapia en el Envejecimiento Activo en la Población Adulta Mayor(Universdidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de posgrados, 2021-07-01) Bonilla Ayala, Josselyn Gabriela Lcda. Ft.; Zavala Calahorrano, Alicia MarifernandaDra. Ph.DAging is a natural process that undergoes changes as age advances, in order to adapt to different life situations, where aspects such as physical and psychological functions, independence and quality of life of the elderly are affected. This progressive deterioration may depend on lifestyle, environmental and social factors; for this reason they are considered as the most vulnerable population, since deterioration not only has health implications but also social and economic ones; causing a higher risk of degenerative, chronic and even incapacitating diseases in the elderly. Active aging should be promote by implementing interesting and fun activities such as physical activities that could be combined with music considered as an integral competence, which has several elements, to achieve a successful aging as well as to improve or avoid functional deterioration. Therefore, the research aims to establish the effectiveness of rhythm therapy in active aging in the older adult population. The research has a quantitative approach and is of a quasi-experimental type, since it will be evaluate at the beginning and end of the intervention by means of scales. In addition, it was apply to the older adult population; 20 people aged 65 years and older who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria participated. The participants underwent 12 sessions of 45 minutes once a week of exercise combined with music. The post-intervention results indicate that 85% have normal cognitive functions, 35% being women and 50% men, as well as in balance and movement, 85% of the population decreased the risk of falling, where 50% are between 65-75 years of age, concluding that rhythm therapy has a positive effect on active aging.
