Abstract:

Aging is a natural process, progressive and can be disabling. Between 2000 and 2050, the proportion of the world�??s population over 60 years will increase from about 841 million today, up to 2 billion. Age-related global social expenditures go from an average of under 19% of Gross Domestic product in 2000 to almost 26% of GDP by 2050. Protecting this special population from disease and bad health conditions is one key to holding down health and social costs. Functional and physical retraining have been indicated as a successful way to minimize its impact and especially to maintain the functional capacity of elderly women for a longer period of time. The functional and physical capabilities are important markers of successful aging and a better quality of life. Thus, the maintenance and the preservation of these abilities to perform activities of daily living are essential points to prolong independence, providing opportunities for a healthier life for these elderly women. However, the prescription of a permanent routine functional and physical training are essential for the aging of these elderly women. Thus, this work suggests some exercises for practical experience and scientific evidence showing great results.
