•Active elderly people who do physical activity according to the IPAQ (short form) will be included, a questionnaire that aims to carry out a global survey of the prevalence of physical activity in the world (MATSUDO et al, 2001\) (ANNEX B). They must be elderly people over 60 years of age who live in the city of Campina Grande\-PB and/or adjacent cities, due to the ease of accessibility to the services offered; that have means of transportation that allow their transport to the collection site, as this is an elderly sample group, those who are unable to move will be under the responsibility of the researcher to transport them; those elderly with chronic degenerative diseases may also be included, if they are under drug control.

•Exclusion criteria will be those who present disabling pathologies for performing aerobic activities (cardiopathies and decompensated respiratory pathologies), they will be excluded because the protocol requires a satisfactory level of cardiorespiratory resistance to perform the activities proposed by the protocol; those elderly who have musculoskeletal disorders that prevent them from participating in the collection and/or who make use of gait devices since the exercises require large amplitude movements, those who are over 80 years old also do not participate, thinking they have a risk that overcome the benefit and elderly people who are performing other aerobic or anaerobic activities so as not to interfere with the evidence of the results
