Objective: To evaluate the effects of functional training, combined with group psychotherapy, on the self-esteem, anxiety, and depressive symptoms of elderly women.
Methodology: This is a quasi-experimental study with a convenience sample of 23 elderly women. Weekly physical exercise interventions were conducted over three weeks, along with psychotherapy sessions, also held once a week. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk, Student's t-test, and Cohen's d, with the significance level set at 5%.
Results: No statistically significant differences were observed for the variables related to self-esteem and depressive symptoms (p>0.05). However, a significant reduction in anxiety was identified after 12 weeks of intervention (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that the elderly women participating in the study demonstrated improvement in anxiety symptoms following the intervention with physical exercise and group psychotherapy.
