Resumo(s)
To independently accomplish their daily routines with no need of
assistance, older adults require an optimal physical fitness. In fact,
this lack of physical fitness may reduce older individuals’ quality of
life, leading to dependence on personal daily assistance or even to
becoming significantly more prone to fatal falls [1]. Prevention
through physical activity programs, are used to slow down and
delay these aging effects, by improving individuals’ agility, flexibility
and body improved functionality. Most of these programs take
place in in-water environment due to age limiting factors such as
high-risk osteoporosis, reduced mobility, higher risk of fracture from
falls, arthrosis and spinal disorders among other.
