The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the static and dynamic body balance among a group of elderly practitioners of physical exercise (aerobics) and a non-practicing group of elderly of exercise. From the results using the proposed method, it was found that by individually analyzing the groups for the pre-post test, both not achieved significant improvement. But when comparing the balance between the two groups in the pre and post-test can be stated that there was significant improvement in the group of water gymnastics classes, with p = 0,046 (pre-test), p = 0,038 (post-test).
