Impacto da terapia assistida por equinos nos parâmetros cardiovasculares de idosos
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
Introdução: Programas de atividade física em idosos visam prevenir e/ou reduzir o declínio funcional decorrente do processo de senescência. Vários estudos fornecem evidências de que a Terapia Assistida por Equinos (TAE) é um meio eficaz de melhorar a saúde. No entanto, estudos que abordam os efeitos da TAE no sistema cardiovascular são escassos. Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito da Terapia Assistida por Eqüinos nas respostas cardiovasculares dos participantes dividos em dois grupos: normotensos e hipertensos. Métodos: Participaram 20 indivíduos, com idade entre 60 a 79 anos, distribuídos em três Grupos: Grupo Normotenso (n=14), Grupo Hipertenso (n=6) e todos os participantes, Grupo Total (n=20). Foi utilizado o monitor de pressão arterial Omron® HEM 742 para aferir a pressão arterial e o oxímetro de dedo portátil Gerathem® para medir a freqüência cardíaca e a saturação de oxigênio no sangue. Foram realizados dez atendimentos uma vez por semana, com duração de 30 minutos. Resultados: Entre a primeira e décima intervenção, houve redução da pressão arterial e da frequência cardíaca, com significância estatística da pressão arterial sistólica para o Grupo Hipertenso (p=0,0478), o Grupo Total (p=0,0201) e da pressão diastólica para o Grupo Total (p=0,0421). Também houve diferença estatisticamente significante da pressão arterial sistólica e da frequência cardíaca durante alguns atendimentos. A saturação de oxigênio no sangue aumentou após a intervenção, porém sem significância estatística. Conclusão: A Terapia Assistida por Eqüinos pode promover redução da pressão arterial em idosos, principlamente de hipertensos.
