Abstract

Aim: This randomized controlled trial compared the effects of a Conventional Exercise Program (CEP) and Culturally Relevant Activities (CRA) on body mass, cardiovascular risk, functional fitness (strength, flexibility, cardiorespiratory fitness, and agility), self-efficacy, and self-esteem in older women dwelling in Mozambique.

Methods: Fifty-seven women (67 [7] y) underwent 60-minute sessions of CEP (n = 28) or CRA (n = 29) performed 3 days per week for 12 weeks. CRA included Mozambican traditional dances and games (intensity corresponding to scores 3-4 of BORG-CR10 scale), and CEP included 20-minute stationary cycling (65%-75% heart rate reserve) and a resistance training circuit (8 exercises, 15-repetition maximum).

Results: CEP and CRA (P < .05) showed increased percent fat (3.4% and 5.3%), waist circumference (3.3% and 5.8%), and cardiorespiratory fitness (14.4% and 9.4%), and decreased triglycerides (-20.0% and -77.8%). In CEP (P < .05), body mass (2.9%), body mass index (3.2%), and high-density lipoprotein (10.0%) increased, while glycemia (-4.8%) and total cholesterol (-9.8%) decreased. Blood pressure slightly increased in CEP (6.2%, P > .05) and CRA (4.3%, P < .05). Self-efficacy and self-esteem increased to similar levels in both groups (15%, P < .05).

Conclusions: CEP and CRA were capable to improve biopsychosocial health-related variables in Mozambican older women. Culturally referenced PA interventions should be considered as an alternative in African countries.

莫桑比克老年妇女传统锻炼计划和文化相关活动的生物心理社会影响。

目的：这项随机对照试验比较了传统锻炼计划（CEP）和文化相关活动（CRA）对体重、心血管风险、功能适应性（力量、灵活性、心肺适应性和敏捷性）、自我效能，方法：57名妇女（67[7]y）接受了60分钟的CEP（n=28）或CRA（n=29）治疗，每周3天，为期12周。CRA包括莫桑比克传统舞蹈和游戏（强度对应于BORG-CR10量表的3-4分），CEP包括20分钟固定自行车（心率储备65%-75%）和阻力训练回路（8次练习，最多15次重复）。结果：CEP和CRA（P<.05）显示脂肪百分比（3.4%和5.3%）、腰围（3.3%和5.8%），心肺健康（14.4%和9.4%），甘油三酯下降（-20.0%和-77.8%）。在CEP（P<.05）中，体重（2.9%）、体重指数（3.2%）和高密度脂蛋白（10.0%）增加，而血糖（-4.8%）和总胆固醇（-9.8%）下降。CEP（6.2%，P>.05）和CRA（4.3%，P<.05）的血压略有升高。两组的自我效能感和自尊都提高到了相似的水平（15%，P<0.05）。结论：CEP和CRA能够改善莫桑比克老年妇女的生物-心理-社会健康相关变量。在非洲国家，文化上提及的巴勒斯坦权力机构干预措施应被视为一种替代方案。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Physical Activity and Health (JPAH) publishes original research and review papers examining the relationship between physical activity and health, studying physical activity as an exposure as well as an outcome. As an exposure, the journal publishes articles examining how physical activity influences all aspects of health. As an outcome, the journal invites papers that examine the behavioral, community, and environmental interventions that may affect physical activity on an individual and/or population basis. The JPAH is an interdisciplinary journal published for researchers in fields of chronic disease.
