Abstract
This research investigated self-esteem and self-image of older adults and its relationship with motivational factors of entering and staying in water exercise program (WEP). The sample was composed by 60 elderly subjects - 53 females and 7 males ( = 69.5 years of age, SD=5,9 yrs), participants of WEP at GETI (Study Group on Elderly) at the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC). A questionnaire of self-esteem and selfimage for elders, developed by Steglich (1978), was applied in form of interview. The statistical procedures included descriptives and non-parametric tests. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. The majority of the group was considered as young elders (81,6%), married or widowed (43,3%), female (88,3%), participated in WEP for 3 to 4 years (40%), and practiced another physical activity (78,3%), such as walking (56,7%). The main reason for entering WEP was to improve physical and mental health, and for staying was the interest in water physical activity and the feeling of well-being. The group presented high self-esteem and self-image. There was a significant difference between reasons for staying in WEP and self-image (p=0,008). The WEP is a way to improve self-image and self-esteem of the elderly, and both variables are important to their stay in the program.

O tratamento estatístico foi descritivo e com testes não-paramétricos. O nível de significância de p<0.05. A maioria dos idosos foi considerado idoso jovem (81,6%), casado e/ou viúvo (43,3%), do sexo feminino (88,3%), participa do programa de 3 a 4 anos (40%), e pratica outra atividade física (78,3%) como a caminhada (56,7%). O principal motivo de ingresso no programa foi para melhorar a saúde física e mental e de permanência neste foi o gosto pela atividade física no meio líquido e a sensação de bem-estar. O grupo apresentou elevada auto-estima e auto-imagem. Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os motivos de permanência no programa e a auto-imagem corporal (p=0,008). O programa de hidroginástica trata-se de um meio para melhoria da auto-imagem e auto-estima dos idosos, além de ser um fator que os mantém junto ao programa.
