Abstract

We investigated the effects of perceptive-motor program in comparison to a program exclusively oriented towards the improvement of strength and aerobic condition in women older than 65 years. A sample of 83 women was distributed in two groups: control and experimental group. Three measures were applied throughout the pretest, retest and post-test phases of the 1 year-period program: Simple Reaction Time (SRT-S1), Selection Reaction Time (SRT-S4) and Movement Detection Time (VTS-MDT-S1).The results reveal significant differences in favor of the experimental group (the one that practiced with the perceptual-motor program) in reaction time and movement time in all the tests performed in the retest and in most of the tests performed in the post-test (SERT-S4, SEMT-S4, MDT-S1 and MMT-S1).
