Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the physical fitness level of elderly adults aged 60 years and over stay in public home for aged in Ankara according to their Physical Performance Test (PPT) protocol scores. Materials and Method: A total of 107 elderly adults (50 male, 57 female) who did not have any medical problems to prevent or limit applying PPT protocol, participated in this study voluntarily. The subjects were divided into three age groups as 60-69, 70-79 and 80>. Some physical fitness tests and PPT protocol were applied to the subjects.Results: At the end of statistical analysis of variables; especially in females significant decreases of physical fitness values were indicated through aging process, comparison of sexes indicated that there were significant differences (p

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı; Ankara ilindeki devlete bağlı huzur ve bakım evlerinde yaşayan 60 ve üzeri yaşlardaki bireylerin Fiziksel Performans Test (FPT) protokolü ile fiziksel uygunluk düzeylerinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya, test protokolünün uygulamasını engelleyecek veya kısıtlayabilecek sağlık problemi olmayan, 57'si kadın 50'si erkek olmak üzere toplam 107 kişi gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcıların yaş grupları 60-69, 70-79 ve 80 ve üzeri olarak belirlenerek üç grup oluşturulmuştur. Araştırmaya katılan gruplara bazı fiziksel uygunluk testleri ile FPT uygulanmıştır.Bulgular: Verilerin analizi sonucunda; yaşlanma ile birlikte özellikle kadınlarda fiziksel uygunluk değerlerinde anlamlı düşüşlerin olduğu, aynı yaş gurubundaki erkek-kadın karşılaştırılması sonucunda, kan basınçları ile istirahat kalp atım sayıları dışındaki diğer parametrelerde 0.05 anlamlılık düzeyinde genellikle erkek grupların daha iyi olduğu, 70-79 yaş grubu kadınların esneklik değerlerinin ise aynı yaş grubundaki erkeklere göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p
