DiScUSSiOn
This study assessed the influence of exercise over some aspects of the relation between elderly people and their stress coping strategies.
To that end, it was decided to not just determine the evolution of the stress coping capacity, as assessed by the Coping Strategies Inventory(12), but also to combine an assessment of the reflex of this capacity on the evaluated daily activities. As to the Coping Strategies Inventory, it demonstrated a significant increase in the first six months of activity, and then tended toward stabilization in the second period, leading us to believe that exercise, in terms of stress coping, shows its most evident effects at the initial phase of the process, remaining effective as intervention continues.
As to the HAP, it demonstrated an increase in functional performance in the evaluation times (6 and 12 months), thus indicating that the improvement in everyday activities of the group along the program was progressive during the intervention period.
This study found a significant relation between the regular practice of exercise and stress coping as reported in previous studies(15-17).
One of our objectives was also to compare two age groups, considering that our elderly population ranged widely in terms of age, but it was not possible
