| description | The objective in this study was to relate the lower limb muscle strength with the knee functionality of elderly women practicing water aerobics. A cross-sectional study was developed between June and September 2016 in the city of Maringá, state of Paraná, Brazil. The sample consisted of 147 elderly women practicing water aerobics. The 30-second chair stand test and the Cincinnati questionnaire were used. It was observed that the elderly women presented low levels of lower limb muscle strength [Md = 13 (Q1 = 11; Q3 = 16)]. A significant (p = 0.001) and moderate (r = 0.68) correlation was found between lower limb muscle strength and knee functionality. The moderate correlation between the lower limb muscle strength and knee functionality of the elderly women suggests an important association between these variables. |
