Resumen

Propósito: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar los efectos de un programa de ejercicio de Ram Krabi-Krabong sobre el equilibrio y la fuerza muscular en adultos mayores.

Metodología: Dieciocho adultos mayores, con edades entre 60 y 79 años, de Ban Nong Bu, subdistrito de Sam Phrao, distrito de Mueang, provincia de Udon Thani, participaron en el programa de ejercicio de Ram Krabi-Krabong durante 6 semanas, 3 días por semana, 50–55 minutos por día. El equilibrio (evaluado mediante la prueba de apoyo unipodal y la prueba de circuito de agilidad) y la fuerza muscular (evaluada mediante la prueba de flexión de brazos en 30 segundos y la prueba de levantarse de la silla en 30 segundos) se prueba previa y prueba posterior. Se utilizó la prueba t pareada para comparar los resultados antes y después dentro del grupo experimental. El nivel de significancia estadística se estableció en p < 0.05.

Resultados: El estudio reveló que, después de seis semanas de entrenamiento aplicado de Ram Krabi-Krabong, el equilibrio (apoyo unipodal y prueba de agilidad) y la fuerza muscular (flexión de brazos en 30 segundos y levantarse de la silla en 30 segundos) mejoraron significativamente a un nivel de .05.

Conclusión: Estos hallazgos indican que el programa de entrenamiento aplicado de danza Ram Krabi-Krabong puede mejorar el equilibrio y la fuerza muscular en adultos mayores.
