Resumo
With the increase of the life expectancy the population aging arouses interest in ways to
minimize the physiological declines related to the aging process. In this context, literature has
been showing in recent decades the advantages of physically active aging as a way to make this
process less impacting. However, some questions still need to be investigated. Thus, the present
study aimed to analyze the relationship between postural control and the level of muscle
strength of the trunk in sedentary and physically active elderly individuals who engage in
recreational or competitive physical activity. With specific objectives: To evaluate the muscular
strength of the extensor and flexor muscles of the trunk; to evaluate static and dynamic postural
control; to correlate trunk muscle strength and postural sway; to evaluate the level of physical
activity, quality of life and history of falls. To do so, people aged 60 or over were invited to
participate in the study. It is a cross-sectional study in which the following tests and
questionnaires were used: Anamnesis and anthropometric evaluation; Evaluation of cognitive
function with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE); Plantar sensitivity test by
stoichiometry; Modified Baecke Questionnaire for Older Adults (MBQOA); Evaluation of
postural sway by posturography; Evaluation of the muscle function of flexors and extensors of
the trunk in isokinetic dynamometer in the variables of peak torque and power.
