The aging process entails the loss of functional capabilities progressively, accelerating once it exceeds the threshold of 65 years. The increase in the population of older adults has caused that health problems related to aging are increasingly frequent and the increase in life expectancy worldwide presupposes the taking of immediate actions to respond to this reality. It is here, where the systematic practice of physical exercises becomes vitally important and, therefore, it is up to the Physical Culture professional to use time to design alternatives in order to meet this objective.
