The objective was to verify and compare the effect of physical exercise practice on physical fitness in the elderly, with practice of differentiated and specific physical activities. As a methodology, 3 groups of elderly were formed and performed tests through protocols and anamnesis. The results show that regular physical activity in the active groups presents a significant difference in overall performance when compared to the sedentary group. It was concluded that the practice of regular physical activity or play improves the overall performance of the elderly.
