Resumo: Linked to a good physical activity program, there are usually methods to assess the functional capacities of individuals who participate in it. The information generated by this evaluation makes it possible to know the characteristics of the elderly from simple and useful tools, assisting in the diagnosis of the specific limitations of each individual and in the definition of strategies for health promotion, aiming to delay or prevent the disabilities resulting from aging. Thus, the objective of this research was to analyze, in different age groups, the levels of functional physical fitness of elderly women participating in a physical activity program. The study was quantitative and descriptive. The research was carried out in the municipality of Crato – Ceará, in which 47 elderly members of the Health, Fire and Society program participated. For data collection, a questionnaire was applied and an anthropometric assessment and an assessment of physical fitness was carried out, this measured through the battery of tests by Rikli and Jones. It was noticed that all of them presented below average results for the “Six-minute walk” test; the age group with the highest number of tests below the average was between 60 and 64 years, followed by the age group of 74 to 79 years, with two tests. In the general analysis of the results, it can be seen that, regarding aerobic endurance, agility and dynamic balance, the participants showed unsatisfactory results or below average, indicating a deficit in these valences.

Así, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar, en diferentes grupos de edad, los niveles de aptitud física funcional de mujeres mayores que participan en un programa de actividad física. El estudio fue cuantitativo y descriptivo. La investigación se llevó a cabo en el municipio de Crato - Ceará, en la que participaron 47 ancianos miembros del programa Salud, Bomberos y Sociedad. Para la recogida de datos se aplicó un cuestionario y se realizó una valoración antropométrica y una valoración de la aptitud física, que se midió mediante la batería de pruebas de Rikli y Jones. Se notó que todos presentaron resultados por debajo del promedio para la prueba de “Caminata de seis minutos”; el grupo de edad con mayor número de pruebas por debajo de la media fue entre 60 y 64 años, seguido del grupo de edad de 74 a 79 años, con dos pruebas. En el análisis general de los resultados, se puede observar que, en cuanto a resistencia aeróbica, agilidad y equilibrio dinámico, los participantes mostraron resultados insatisfactorios o por debajo de la media, lo que indica un déficit en estas valencias.Atrelado a um bom programa de atividades físicas, geralmente, têm-se métodos para avaliar as capacidades funcionais de indivíduos que dele participam.
