Abstract

Adopting an active lifestyle provides many health benefits and is regarded as an important component to improving the quality of life and functional independence of the elderly. But as important as investigating the biopsychosocial benefits acquired by the practice of physical activities, is the understanding of associated factors that influence the membership and maintenance. Thus, from a review of the literature, this article is to discuss the proposed membership of the relationship between physical activity and of the elderly.
