• Abstract:

  This article aims to collect data on

  functional training for the elderly in Brazil and

  the benefits involved with this practice. The

  main results show that the functional activity

  is a strong weapon against the sedentarism

  and the muscular and orthopedic problems of

  the elderly, however the incorrect use of this

  tool can cause irreversible damages to the

  individual. It was also observed that the main

  benefits are related to the motor and physical

  development of the elderly, being able to provide

  great muscular advances and to increase in

  a comprehensive way the resistance of the

  organism. In order to better understand this

  issue and to clearly demonstrate the stagnant

  problems in the subject, a bibliographical data

  search was made regarding functional activity

  and also the benefits that occurred during the

  work with elderly people. This research will evaluate the processes that interfere with functional exercise, thus reducing the doubts

  and the presumption of using this technique with the elderly. It can be concluded from

  the research that functional activity is one of the best tools to reduce physical inactivity

  due to its rapid and direct effect on the elderly organism, thus improving psychological

  factors and quality of life.
