Abstract: The elderly have been the focus of several fronts of research in the field of Physical Education, among which results on this subject are predominant based on studies focused on the relationship between physical activity and health. This work aimed to expand academic analyses, having as its theme Brazilian studies on leisure and the elderly in the last 5 years (2020-2024). As methodological procedures, bibliographical research of a qualitative nature was carried out, including the exploration of quantitative data. The results obtained were the following: 1) Regardless of how interdisciplinary the topic investigated is, the production of knowledge in the last 5 years about leisure and the elderly is still limited, studies in the North and Northeast Brazilian regions are scarce, 2) Most of the researchers is linked to public higher education institutions and 3) three studies were identified on the influence of leisure on the main diseases presented by Brazilian elderly people, while the other articles dealt with leisure associated with other aspects of the health and quality of life of this population . It was also observed that the practice of these activities, with family or group support, contributes positively to the socialization of the elderly, reducing the loneliness they often face and encouraging the continuation of leisure activities. It is concluded that it is imperative to expand discussions on the importance of leisure in old age, in order to encourage public actions and policies aimed at creating activities programs of the leisure context to Brazilian elderly population.
