| description | This study aimed to analyze the effects of eight months of water gymnastics on the anthropometric variables of women aged 60 - 80 years. The sample comprised formed by 62 women (Experimental Group, EG, n = 50; Control Group, CG, n = 12), who were measured for body mass (kg), stature (cm), circumferences in cm (arms, normal chest, abdomen waist, hip, mid-thigh and calf) and sum of skinfolds representing regional fat (trunk, limbs, central and peripheral), and total fat. The EG participated at all water activities for 32 weeks which, a total of 64 sessions, each lasting for about 45 min. Alpha level was set at p ≤ 0.05 for all comparisons. For pre-and-post test comparison of the EG, Student’s t test for dependent samples was used. The independent t test was used to compare both groups at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. According to the results the following can be stated: the water gymnastics program followed for 8 months, helped to statistically reduce body mass and body circumferences at waist, hip, mid-thigh and calf levels. Signifi cant differences in the distribution of regional body fat and total fat were observed found (p ≤ 0.05) at trunk and limbs and in peripheral and total body fat. <p> <b> ABSTRACT </b>O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar os efeitos de oito meses de hidroginástica sobre indicadores antropométricos de mulheres entre 60 e 80 anos de idade. Participaram da amostra 62 mulheres, divididas em dois grupos: experimental (GE, n = 50) e controle (GC, n = 12). Mediu-se a massa corporal (kg), estatura corporal (cm), perímetros, cm (tronco normal, abdômen na região da cintura, glútea, coxa e panturrilha) e somatórios de dobras cutâneas (mm), representando a gordura por região (tronco, membros, central e periférica) e a gordura total. O grupo experimental participou das atividades de hidroginástica durante 32 semanas, totalizando 64 sessões, com duração aproximada de 45 minutos. Para a análise dos dados entre o pré e pós-teste do grupo experimental, aplicou-se o teste t de Student para amostras dependentes (p ≤ 0,05), e para a diferença das médias entre os grupos no pré e pós-teste, aplicou-se o teste t de Student para amostras independentes (p ≤ 0,05). Com base nos resultados, concluiu-se que o programa de hidroginástica praticado durante 8 meses, proporcionou reduções signifi cativas nas variáveis da massa corporal e nos perímetros da cintura, glútea, coxa e panturrilha. Quanto à distribuição da gordura corporal regional e total, constatou-se que o programa de hidroginástica realizado durante oito meses para idosos de 60 e 80 anos foi efi caz para promover reduções na adiposidade coporal. |
