We designed and implemented a program of physical activation, which directly emphasizes the recovery of motor independence and indirectly in the increased activity of group interaction such that allows elderly inmates improve their ability to perform activities of daily living and reduce the burden on their caregivers. 30 People were randomly selected, 15 of the experimental group and 15 of the control group; 7 women and 8 men in each group. In general, the age of the subjects ranged between 60 and 84 years, with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 6.5, a program of physical activation was applied for three months in daily sessions of 45 minutes. The results obtained and the conclusions show that physical activity performed by an adult, metered and systematically improve their functional abilities, which directly or indirectly affects their quality of life.
