The constant growth of the elderly population in Brazil\udand in the world is an important indication that people are living\udlonger, but it doesn’t mean they’re living better. The aging process is\udlinked to significant loss of a person’s abilities, both physical and\udfunctional, leading to reduced independency of the elderly. Studying\udthe related literature, it’s possible to realize that physical exercise\udcontributes significantly to the maintenance of physical fitness in the\udelderly. In this paper studies were made to look for new ways to help\udthe elderly to exercise, taking into account the search for a resource\udthat would be attractive and would motivate the elderly in physical\udactivities.\u
