ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the reasons for abandonment of physical activity in a program for seniors. The sample consisted of 31 participants dropped out of the project. The instrument was structured with open-ended questions by telephone interview. There is interest in continuing activities, but health conditions do not allow the practice in the same perspective, indicating the need for other modes of attention.
