The Health Sciences College at Trairi (FACISA), Specialized Unit of Rio Grande do Norte Federal University (UFRN), was invited to take part at a health extension action iwith the idealizers of the Sport and Leisure in City Program (PELC in Portuguese), implanted in Santa Cruz/RN by the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande of Norte State (IFRN). The proposal was to make leisure possible all over the community, creating centers for children, adolescents and adults. The objective was to evaluate the neuromotor performance, the tolerance to the submaximum efforts, anticipatory balance, and anthropometry of PSLC adult participants, in order to stimulate a healthy life style, and to offer a greater knowledge about their health condition. The sample was composed by 18 PELC participants, all of them female, more than 60 years old and favorable cardiologic evaluation for the practice of physical activity. The strength of lower limbs ( seating and to standing test) and flexibility of lower limbs (seating and reaching test) were evaluated; body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (anthropometric measures); evaluation of the tolerance to the submaximum efforts (6 minutes walking test - TC6); antecipatory balance (test of functional reach); and blood pressure (indirect method). It was observed that the women studied in this research presented significant aging characteristics, such as: tolerance to the submaximum efforts lower than expected (n=13); obesity (n=8); elevated deposition of abdominal fat (n=17); hypertension (n=12); moderate risk for falls (n=9). Thre was negative statistical significant correlation between the following variables: age x flexibility (r=-0.59, p=0.01); age x TC6 (r=-0.61, p=0.007); and sistolic blood pressure X anticipatory balance (r=0,47, p=0,05). A significant positive correlation between systolic blood pressure and relation C/Q (r=0.49, p=0.04), and flexibility and TC6 (r=0.51, p=0.03) was found. This extension action allowed greater knowledge about the health of PELC participants.References
