RESUMO
Tanto o equilíbrio corporal (EC), quanto a autonomia funcional (AF) e o nível de independência (NIF) de 10 idosos sedentários (GI) foram avaliados e comparados aos dados correlatos em 10 idosos ativos (GII), todos do programa de saúde da família em Araxá (MG). Após assinarem o TCLE, foram submetidos aos testes de avaliação do EC, da AF e do NIF, além da identificação do IMC. Apesar do sobrepeso corporal e do NIF igual entre ambos, o EC e AF no GII foram significativamente maiores do que o GI, Concluímos que a prática de exercícios terapêuticos promove a saúde funcional no idoso.
