dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Regular exercise and physical activity are important for physical, mental health and quality of life in the elderly. Being physically active is very important to independence, self-determination, and quality of life of the elderly. Objective: In this study, we will see the effect of an intervention program to promote physical activity, based on self-regulation in the quality of life and well-being in elderly people. Methods: This is a prospective study. The study includes 17 people, aged between 66 and 83 years old, 75% female, 65% married, were all retired and all had functional independence. The data collection was performed on seniors universities. We use the SF-36 and the subscale psychological well-being (PWB) belonging to the Mental Health Inventory. The program consists of an intervention to promote physical activity in a group of eight people, in once a week sessions of 90 minutes. The program was held for seven weeks. Results: In order to evaluate the results we used non-parametric tests in the correlations between the PWB and the SF-36 domains before the application of the physical activity program and after the implementation of the program showed statistically significant differences between all SF-36 and PWB dimensions Except in the Cognitive Function. Conclusions: There are statistically significant differences between the two moments of assessment, suggesting that physical intervention programs for the promotion of physical activity can play an important role in the quality of life and well being of the elderly population.pt_PT
