Resumo

This study aimed to describe the structure/development of actions to promote physical exercises for older adults, offered by the Community Council of Capoeiras (CCC) in Florianópolis, State of Santa Catarina (Southern Brazil). These actions encompass physical activity (walking, resistance exercises outdoors, dancing and aerobics) and health actions (biochemistry tests, counselling and lectures). For the execution of the physical activity programs, CCC has two Physical Education teachers, whose role is to encourage, guide and monitor the physical activity practice. The participants are assessed annually, before and after participating in the programs. Investing in places like this Council is very important for today's society, as they can help to promote physical activity, stimulate healthy behaviors, and provide the older adults with physical and psychosocial well-being.
