Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a multicomponent training program on hypertensive octogenarians in physical fitness and quality of life. Methods: In this two-arm, parallel-group trial approved by the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (REBEC) hypertensive octogenarians were allocated into intervention group (IG, n=14, mean age of 82.6± 2.31) or control (CG, n=18, mean age of 84.1±3.06). The IG performed a 12-week multicomponent program. Both groups underwent biochemical and physical tests and answered the fragility and 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) questionnaires at the beginning and the end of the intervention. Results: In the IG there was a reduction in blood pressure (p=0.050), improvements in strength (p<0.001) and balance (p<0.001). Enhancements in SF-36 were verified in functional capacity (p<0.040) and general health status (p=0.007) between groups. Conclusion: Findings suggest that the multicomponent training program applied to hypertensive octogenarians improved strength, functional capacity, quality of life and reduced blood pressure. These improvements could be effective for maintaining strength and improving the ability of the hypertensive octogenarians to perform activities of daily living with greater independence.
