Resumo
This study analyzed the effectiveness of two programs of physical exercises
(Pilates and weight training) and nutritional orientation in the kinematics gait of obese
women. For twelve weeks, a group of nine obese women participated in a program of
aerobic exercises and Pilates method and another group of nine obese women
participated in a program of aerobic exercises and weight training. Both groups
participated of nutritional orientation. The exercise training lasted sixty minutes, three
times a week. The gait kinematics was collected through four cameras at 60 Hz. The
images were digitalized using Kwon3D software which provided the gait descriptive
kinematics variables. The body mass index (BMI), the six-minute walk test, the stand-
up test and the sit-and-reach test were also evaluated. There was significant
reduction of the BMI, significant improvement in all tests of functional physical
capacity as well as in the gait angular variables after twelve weeks in the two groups.
The group which trained with weights showed a significant increase in the gait speed,
cadence, the stride length, the step length and also a significant decrease on the
stride time and on the simple stance phase time. We have concluded that the two
programs were efficient in promoting a reduction of the BMI and improvement of the
functional physical capacity. The program with weight training was more effective in
positively altering the kinematic variables which increased the dynamic stability of the
gait in obese women.
