The practice of physical exercises, such as the Pilates (MP) method, has been considered as adjuvant therapy in maintaining autonomy and independence of the elderly. The objective of the study was to analyze, through a systematic review, the influence of MP on the functional capacity of the elderly. The MP, according to the analyzed works, promoted significant improvements in the functional autonomy of the elderly. However, there is a need of more studies, since works with this subject are scarce.
