Abstract

The objectives of this study were to analyze the differences between women active/ non-active in a physical exercise program, functional capacity (upper and lower body strength and cardiorespiratory fitness) and health-related quality of life (physical function and mental health), as well as analyzing the association between the mentioned variables and determining if the functional capacity and body mass index (BMI) are mediators in the relationship between physical function and mental health. The sample consisted of 340 women (Mage=69.2; SD=6.2, 183 belonged to the group “active” in a Pilates-Aerobic exercise program (Mage=68.8; SD=5.3), while 157 belonged to the “non-active” group (Mage=69.9; SD=7.1), since they did not receive program. The results show that the active women have a better functional physical capacity and perceive a better physical function than the non-active women. Physical function and mental health, in both groups of women, present a negative correlation. The variables evaluated objectively in relation to the physical functional capacity and the BMI did not mediate the relationship between physical function and mental health, except in the group of active women, in which the upper body strength is a mediator that enhances the negative relationship between the perception of quality of life with respect to physical function and mental health. The need for future lines of research to discern how physical exercise favors the psychological state in older women taking into account the recommendations on the type, the frequency, workload and intensity of physical exercise is highlighted.
