Resumo

A atividade física e o exercício diminuem a incidência de quedas ao melhorar a marcha, o equilíbrio e a força. Todos os tipos de exercício, especialmente os exercícios funcionais e de equilíbrio, reduzem a taxa de quedas em aproximadamente 24%, a prática de caminhada isoladamente não reduz a incidência de quedas. A Nova Zelândia desenvolveu três programas de exercícios que têm se mostrado eficazes, estimuladores e sustentáveis para prevenção de quedas em pessoas idosas. O mundialmente renomado Programa de Exercícios Otago, realizado em casa, o Steady As You Go©, liderado por pares e baseado na comunidade, e o programa de exercícios indígenas Taurite Tū são exemplos desses programas. A maioria dos exercícios é realizada em pé e progride para que o participante fique com os pés juntos, em um pé só, minimizando o uso das mãos para ajudar no equilíbrio, e pratique movimentos controlados do centro de massa do corpo e da percepção corporal. As aulas lideradas por pares, como as dos programas Steady As You Go© e o Taurite Tū, demonstraram sua capacidade de atrair participantes para um envolvimento de longo prazo por meio de fortes conexões sociais e exercícios culturalmente apropriados, que permitem às pessoas idosas manter o equilíbrio, a força e reduzir o risco de quedas.
