O objetivo foi verificar a relação entre a flexibilidade e a dor em idosos ativos. Amostra composta por 12 homens (75,5±5,23) (GH) e 57 mulheres (67,95± 8.0) (GM). Para avaliar a flexibilidade: sentado e alcançar (FLEXMI) e alcançar atrás das costas (FLEXMS), para a avaliação da dor: o domínio DOR do questionário SF-36.
