Introduction: Aging is a natural process in physiological changes and determines changes in the structure of the human body, modifying their functions, and these modifications are characterized by genetic factors, sedentary lifestyle and environmental.
Objectives: Evaluate the effect of a Hidrotreinamento intervention on the functional capacities of the elderly women trained in the aquatic environment.
Method: 60 elderly women were recruited, all of them already experienced in the aquatic environment so that there was no interference when dividing the groups in Hidrotreinamento (n = 30) with intervention, and control group (n = 30) with conventional hydrogymnastics, and in the division of groups, was in a random manner, since all were experienced in aquatic activities. Interventions occurred for 12 weeks, 3 times per week. Anthropometric data and functional abilities were performed before and after the intervention.
Results: There was a difference in the grip strength of the palmar hidrotreinamento and the control group with for dominant hand, and for the control group for non-dominant hand. For the functional tests, there was no significant difference in the sit and stand variables, and get up and walk.
Conclusions: The present study showed that our hypothesis to improve the strength of the upper and lower limbs was confirmed, that a Hidrotreinamento intervention with specific and well-oriented exercises.
Keywords: Palmar grip, isometric force, aging.
