Abstract

The combination of worsening of the functional condition and the increase in comorbidities at more advanced ages makes the aging of the current population a setting that deserves increased attention from the medical professional. This professional is certainly the most frequently asked about recommendations regarding suitable physical activities for elderly or debilitated individuals. However, the generalist training has not included current issues related to the exercise physiology and prescription of appropriate physical activities to these populations. Resistance exercises have gained increasing importance in the scientific community as a safe and effective form of exercise, resulting in preventive and therapeutic benefits for elderly or debilitated persons. Thus, an update of this knowledge is necessary for the medical professional, aiming at extending the benefits of recommending resistance exercises to an increasing number of individuals.
