Resumo

Introdução: a pandemia de COVID-19 forçou a implementação de medidas de distanciamento social, resultando em isolamento e aumento de distúrbios físicos, alimentares e emocionais. Pessoas idosas e mulheres foram particularmente afetadas, apresentando altos níveis de estresse, ansiedade e depressão. Intervenções online surgiram como alternativas para mitigar esses impactos, sendo o treino de dupla-tarefa (DT) cognitivo-motora uma possibilidade para melhora de aspectos emocionais e físicos. Objetivo: avaliar o impacto de um programa de DT cognitivo-motora virtual nos aspectos emocionais de mulheres entre 40 e 70 anos durante a pandemia de COVID-19 bem como a viabilidade do formato 100% remoto. Metodologia: o estudo piloto "ATIVA IDADE" utilizou um design pré-teste/pós-teste em grupo único (n=31). Após o recrutamento online, as participantes realizaram um protocolo composto por 36 aulas durante 12 semanas. Foram aplicados os testes de normalidade de Shapiro-Wilk, não-paramétrico de Wilcoxon adotando-se p < 0,05 e cálculo do tamanho do efeito (r). Resultados: redução significativa nos escores de ansiedade (p=0,016) e depressão (p=0,037) com tamanho de efeito moderado. Observou-se mudança em alguns escores da DASS-21, que passaram de uma classificação de ansiedade e depressão leve para normalidade. Conclusão: o treino de DT cognitivo-motora virtual mostrou-se eficaz na redução de sintomas emocionais negativos em mulheres adultas e idosas durante a pandemia, destacando o potencial das intervenções remotas. O estudo sugere a necessidade de estratégias para aumentar a adesão e superar barreiras tecnológicas principalmente em países em desenvolvimento.
