5. Conclusions
In conclusion, based on our findings, elderly individuals subjected to physical exercise programs exhibit a better lifestyle compared to inactive elderly individuals. However, certain limitations should be acknowledged in this study, as the results were obtained by accessing elderly attendees of APPIs, which may not represent other forms of physical exercise and/or different environments. In general, the lifestyle of elderly individuals engaged in physical activity, both supervised and unsupervised, at APPIs was deemed satisfactory. These findings underscore the significance of engaging in physical activity, as it yields numerous beneficial impacts on the health of this population. Furthermore, the use of the questionnaire proved to be a valuable tool for diagnosing the lifestyle of the elderly, enabling the Physical Education professional to gain deeper insights into their experimental subjects and to positively contribute to interventions in the health and quality of life of elderly individuals.
