The confrontation of the illiteracy of old women in the Municipality of Castanhal, in the Paraense Amazon, was the object of this research, when it aroused in us the problematization and the will to investigate this phenomenon, for the much that it excludes in this region, particularly in Castanhal, in the State of Pará, where the Campus of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) is located, which, through university extension, develops the program Education Group in the Third Age (GETI), the locus of this research. The study was carried out with 12 subjects, students and former students of the 2nd stage classes of Youth and Adult Education (EJA), resulting from the partnership between the Campus and the Municipal Education Department (SEMED), aiming to investigate the determining factors for the confrontation of illiteracy by the old women who attend the GETI program. As a researcher, teacher and old woman, our interest in the study was of a theoretical, political and existential nature. In this sense, we conducted a qualitative-exploratory field research, which forged some methodological procedures, namely: the bibliographical survey, with the reading of the theoretical ones on the subject, immersion in the program file GETI and the necessary listening of subjects through semi-structured interviews. To analyze the interview data we use Content Analysis, based on Bardin (2016) and Franco (2018). The study revealed the situation of socioeconomic and cultural prejudice of the old women investigated, as a consequence of the long period of life in illiteracy or low level of schooling. It also evidenced the protagonism when overcoming this condition by revealing attitudes of independence and autonomy acquired by the literacy process. It is also pointed out that current educational systems are not prepared to meet the specificities of the elderly, which requires the government to implement legal determinations concerning the right of the elderly with adequate physical and pedagogical structure in the sense of ensuring that these citizens are welcomed with physical and emotional security through critical, dialogic and respectful pedagogical interventions, in a perspective of providing meaningful learning throughout life.

Responsividade de parâmetros neuromusculares e capacidade funcional a dose mínima de treinamento resistido em mulheres de meia-idade e idosas

Resistance training (RT) is an effective strategy to mitigate the loss of muscle strength and the risk of functional limitations that occur drastically after 55 years of age. However, there is evidence of inter-individual variations in responsiveness to resistance training, since some people can be responsive and others non-responsive to the same protocol. Thus, the objective of the present study was to verify the responsiveness of middle-aged and elderly women submitted to TR with a minimum dose approach and to verify the effect of the protocol on muscle strength and functional capacity of the participants. Twenty-two untrained women, mean age 64.3 ± 7.2 years, body mass 65.5 ± 9.2 kg, and height 152.3 ± 4.3 cm, randomly assigned to the Intervention Group (INT), submitted to the minimum dose protocol during 4 weeks, or to the Control Group (CON), who participated in two lectures and two stretching classes. The participants were evaluated for strength (1 repetition maximum in Leg Press 180º, Seated Rowing, and Straight Supine) and functional capacity (Timed Up and Go, Physical Performance Battery) before and at the end of the 4 weeks. For the statistical analysis it was performed the Analysis of Variance of repeated measures and Bonferroni post-hoc test for data with normal distribution, Mann Whitney U test for non-normally distributed data, Deltas of variation (Δ%) to present percentage of change and independent t test to compare the means of percentage of change between groups. The significance level adopted was p< 0.05. Levene's test was used to check the variance between groups. For classification of responsiveness, the standard deviation of the CON change score was multiplied by 1.96. Individuals outside this range were classified as High responders or Low responders. The results suggest 16.6% High responders in the 1RM of the straight supine and 8.4% in the estimated 1RM in the same exercise, with 25% High responders for average and peak velocity of the Sit and Stand test. Regarding the mean differences, we observed significant increases in muscle strength only for INT, with no differences between groups. Thus, it is concluded that 4 weeks of TR performed with a minimal dose approach presents a small rate of High responders for upper limb strength and lower limb speed. Furthermore, the training dose used seems to be insufficient to generate greater muscle strength and functional capacity adaptations than the control in middle-aged and elderly women.
