FYSIOTERAPEUTEN 4/19 29 Title: What characterizes physically active elderly and their exercise habits? Abstract n Purpose : Investigate characteristics of elderly persons who have exercised regularly over time. Are there differences between persons working out with a physiotherapist and those with subscription at a fitness center? n Design : Cross-sectional study. n Material : 105 persons over 70 years who have exercised regularly for at least 1 year. The median age (range) was 74 (70-90) years. n Method : Questionnaires and physical tests (strength, endurance, balance, mobility). n Results : Median (range) number of years with exercise was 20 (1-70) years. 64% repor- ted musculoskeletal disorders and 46% were women. Reported duration, intensity and frequency of training was largely in accordance with recommendations from health aut- horities. Most participants did endurance- and strength exercises, but only about 50% did balance-exercises. A larger proportion of the group exercising with the physiothera- pists reported medical reasons as motivation for exercise. No between group differences were found on physical tests. n Conclusion : The results showed that the participants reported training in accordance with the Norwegian Health authorities’ recommendations. No differences were found in elderly training with physiotherapists and those attending a fitness center, except for the motivation for training. Balance and mobility exercises have less focus and should be encouraged to a greater extent also in active elderly. n Keywords : Physical function, physiotherapy, functional tests, clinical tests. Artikkelen er skrevet av forskere i forskningsprogrammet FYSIOPRIM. FYSIOPRIM inngår i en storsatsing fra Fond til etter- og videreutdanning av fysioterapeuter. FYSIOPRIM skal: • Skape ny kunnskap om og for klinisk praksis • Etablere metoder og verktøy for systematisk og standardisert registrering av data relevant for klinisk praksis • Skape grunnlag for varige sam- arbeidsmiljøer, ved å prøve ut ulike samarbeidsmodeller mellom klinikere i primærhelsetjenesten og forskningsmiljøer. Hva kan vi lære av idrettsfysioterapi? Fagutgivelsen 2019: Idrettsfysioterapi – forebygging, behandling og opptrening. Vi vil også legge vekt på å få inn artikler om temaer fra idrettsfysioterapi som er relevante for den generelle befolkningen. Vitenskapelige artikler og fagartikler må sendes inn senest 15. september. For andre artikkelsjangere er leveringsfris- ten 1. november.
