OQLQ - Osteoporosis Quality of Life Questionnaire
|
Three groups divided into: a group that performed exercises in the water, a group which
performed exercises out of water and a control group. The first two groups performed three
weekly sessions lasting 50 minutes each, for 20 weeks. |
Subjects in the group that performed exercise out of water presented a better OQLQ total
score, when compared to the group that did exercises in the water. However, the global
scores reported by subjects in the group that exercised in water was three times higher
compared to the group that exercised out of water. |
