Programa de intervención de actividad física para el mejoramiento del equilibrio y la prevención de caídas en el adulto mayor del centro de proyección social (CPS) suba gaitana

Abstract

The Physical Activity (PA) intervention program for the elderly is focused on the context of improving balance through physical activity sessions in a systematic and functional way, where 61 elderly adults are evaluated, but the group as a whole is made up of 96 elderly adults who participate as the intervention population. The main objective of this program was to design and apply physical activity sessions for older adults belonging to the Centro de Proyección Social (CPS) of Suba Gaitana to improve the level of balance. The results obtained show that 90% of the physical activity interventions improved in the population, which means that the risk of falls and/or fragility has decreased due to the high impact that the Physical Activity (PA) sessions had on the health of the Older Adult (MA). It could also be observed that many of these did not obtain good results, but these were concluded by the lack of attendance to the sessions which makes the performance not equal. The final results conclude the importance of physical activity for the health of the older adult, since there are benefits at the level of health and in general to obtain a more "active aging".
