This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a dual-task (DT) protocol, associated with cognitive association strategies and mental image on balance, cognition, anxiety and depressive symptoms in the elderly. This is a quasi-experimental study, in which 10 elderly people participated in a DT activity program for six weeks. Short Physical Performance Battery (SPBB), MINI-ACE, MAC-Q, Geriatric Depression Scale and Geriatric Anxiety Inventory tests were used. Data analysis was conducted using the Shapiro-Wilk, dependent student t and Cohen d tests (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in cognitive skills, depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms between the first and last DT intervention encounter. It was found that only performance in balance showed changes between the first (x = 10.50) and last (x = 11.10) intervention encounter, showing statistically significant significance (p = 0.005), and magnitude of the mean difference ( d=0.69). It was concluded that the intervention program in DT for six weeks had a positive effect only on the balance performance of the elderly.
