Objective: To describe and analyze the functional gains and self-reported health of elderly patients submitted to group therapy. Methods: The elderly were submitted to interventions twice a week for 12 weeks, with a duration of 50 min each care. It was developed by the team of researchers, a protocol of varied activities involving mobility exercises, balance, coordination, cognition, muscle strengthening of lower and upper limbs, stretching and socialization. The Mental State Mini Exam (MEEM), Functional Ambulation Category (EDF) scale, Leganés Cognitive Test (PCL) and The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) were used. Results and conclusions: Our results show improvement in health perception and a positive impact on cognition, socialization and muscle strength gain, reflected in the instruments used. We also confirm the importance and encourage the participation of the elderly in a group of supervised exercises.
