There is a close relationship between aging and GH deficiency with reduction of protein synthesis, lean body mass, bone mass and increase of fat mass, which is called somatopause (HUAYLLAS et al.,2001). These deleterious effects are confirmed by Badia et al. (1998) and Fernholm et al. (2000), whom also quote muscle atrophy, reduced exercise capacity, fat profile alteration, with increase of total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol decrease. The aim of this study was to compare the IGF-1 serum levels between two groups of elderly females: Groups 1 and 2, consisted of twenty four active and ten non active elderly people, at sixty years old minimum, respectively. Group 1 was submitted to a strength training program twice a week during twelve week period. The IRMA method (coated-Tube-Irma kit diagnostic use DSL-5600) has been applied to collect IGF-1 serum levels, according to Brazilian ethics resolutions. The Descriptive Statistics and the Student t-Test were applied to verify important differences among the averages when p<0,05. Although the results presented important differences (Δ = 11,84%) among age averages, this difference did not interfered significantly in IGF-1 levels alterations, and there were not observed significant differences among the respective mean values. Therefore, it was observed a high index variability which is the ratio between the values of mean and standard deviation in the IGF-1 variable among the groups. Keywords: Aging; growth hormone; IGF-1.

Avaliou-se a resistência da artéria carótida pelo método de ultra-som Doppler e a Autonomia Funcional por testes relacionados a atividades da vida diária (Protocolo GDLAM). Para a descrição dos dados, calculou-se média e desvio padrão, em que a resistência da carótida interna direita obteve respectivamente (0,71 ± 0,07) e o Índice geral de Autonomia Funcional apresentou (30,40 ± 6,31). O coeficiente de correlação de Spearman mostrou forte associação entre as variáveis do estudo (r = 0,998; p = 0,000). Os resultados sugerem que quanto maior o índice de resistência da artéria carótida, maior será a dificuldade de execução das tarefas da vida diária.

In the study participant ones of the program of inserted phisioterapêutic attendance in the institutions had been evaluated twenty and eight aged put in a home. The sample was composed of elderly of the sorts masculine and feminine, with ages between 58 and 86 years, being fourteen residents in the Institute Mauro and Alcides Ferreira (IMAF) and fourteen residents in the institution House of Velho Amigo (CVA). The tests of functional evaluation of the activities of daily life had been used (TAFAVD’s) that it possesss questions necessary to evaluate the autonomy and performance of the citizens composites for: to walk 10 meters (C10m); To arise of the position ventral decubitus (LPDV),Time Up & Go Test; (TUG); To arise 5 times of the seated position (LPS); . It was used the Descriptive Statistics and test-t of student for the verification if it has significant difference enters the averages for p< 0.05. With the analysis of the gotten data it is observed that the aged ones of the two studied groups had had a reduction in the different significantly compatible degrees of autonomy with the advanced elderly.

A total of 36 physical therapy sessions exclusively of static stretching and eccentric strengthening of the femoral quadriceps were performed,
with a frequency of three sessions per week, with an average duration of 50 minutes each session. The manual force scales, the passive goniometry, perimetry, Lequesne index and Cincinnati scale used for mensuration with signifi cant gains, shown in graphs were also performed. We should consider that although there might be possible variables in this research, since it was performed only with one person, we concluded that the eccentric exercise of femoral quadriceps produces a substantial improvement in the algic and disability process in patients with knee osteoarthritis, resulting in a better quality of life.

ABSTRACT This study had as objective to correlate the resistance of the carotid artery and the functional autonomy of old women. The resistance of the carotid artery was evaluated through the method called Doppler and the functional autonomy through tests related to daily activities (Protocol GDLAM). In the description of the data it was used measures of localization and dispersion. The internal right carotid resistance got mean and pattern deviation respectively (0,71 ± 0,07) and functional autonomy mean and pattern deviation respectively (30,40 ± 6,31). The coefficient of the correlation of Spearman showed a strong association between the variation of the study (r = 0,998; p = 0,000). The results suggest that the bigger the table of contents of the resistance of the carotid artery is the bigger will be the difficulty of execution of the daily life tasks.

RESUMEN Este estudio objetivou correlacionar resistência de la arteria carótida interna derecha Y autonomía funcional de ancianas. Se evaluó la resistência de la arteria carótida por el método de ultra-sonido Doppler e a autonomia funcional a través de testes relacionados la actividad da vida diaria (Protocolo GDLAM). Em la descripción de los datos, se calculou media y desvío padrón, donde la resistência de la arteria carótida interna derecha tuvo respectivamente (0,71 ± 0,07) y em lo índice geral de la autonomía funcional fueron respectivamente (30,40 ± 6,31). Lo coeficiente de la correlación de Spearman mostrou fuerte associación entre las variables de el estudio (r = 0,998; p = 0,000). Los resultados sugerem que cuanto mayor lo índice de la resistência de la arteria carótida, mayor fuerón las dificuldades de execucusión de las actividad de la vida diaria.
