Abstract(s)
Boccia tem adquirido uma dimensão notável contribuindo, paulatinamente, para a inclusão e inserção social de, essencialmente, crianças/jovens com Paralisia Cerebral. Este trabalho visa alargar o estudo do impacto do Boccia à população idosa, temática pouco abordada na literatura. Assim, objetiva-se a aplicação e avaliação dos benefícios da prática de Boccia Sénior, quanto ao domínio cognitivo, equilíbrio, atividades de vida diária e afetividade, numa amostra composta por 23 idosos, triados segundo o pré-requisito de todos eles, sem demência e autónomos, praticarem atividade física, diariamente. Este estudo enquadra-se num paradigma de investigação-ação.
Para a recolha de dados foram utilizados os testes: Mini Mental State Examination; Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg; Escala de Barthel; Escala PANAS-Versão reduzida Portuguesa. O tratamento de dados foi concebido através do programa estatístico Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). Verificou-se que a implementação de um programa desta modalidade, nesta amostra,
foi eficaz e benéfica, cujos resultados revelaram melhorias no domínio cognitivo, equilíbrio
e na afetividade positiva. Fica um contributo para a importância da prática do Boccia noutras faixas etárias. Ambiciona-se que este projeto seja um meio de promoção da prática desta modalidade direcionada à população sénior.
The Boccia has acquired a remarkable dimension contributing, gradually, to the inclusion and social insertion of, essentially, children / young people with Cerebral Palsy. This work aims to broaden the study of the impact of Boccia to the elderly population, the subject little discussed in the literature. The objective is to apply and evaluate the benefits of the practice of Boccia Senior, regarding cognitive domain, balance, activities of daily living and affectivity, in a sample composed of 23 elderly people, screened according to the prerequisite of all of them, without dementia and self-employed, to practice physical activity daily. This study is part of an action-research paradigm. The following tests were used to collect data: Mini Mental State Examination; Berg Balance Scale; Barthel scale; Scale PANAS-Portuguese reduced version. The data treatment was designed through the statistical program Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). It was verified that the implementation of a program of this modality, in this sample, was effective and beneficial, whose results revealed improvements in the cognitive domain, balance and positive affectivity. It is a contribution to the importance of Boccia practice in other age groups and at other levels. It is intended that this project be a means of promoting the practice of this modality directed to the senior population.
