Resumo
Esta investigação teve como objetivo analisar, identificar as fragilidades na falta de exercício
físico em adultos na fase geriátrica, avaliar a reserva cognitiva, ou seja, analisar a influencia
da prática de exercício físico no declínio cognitivo. Com o intuito de responder ao objetivo,
50 participantes responderam a um Questionário sociodemográfico, ao Montreal Cognitive
Assessment, ao Inventário de depressão de Beck, à Frontal Assessment Battery, T15 de REY,
ao Questionário de Suporte Social e o Questionário de Memória de Trabalho, a Rudas, GDS,
e ao Questionário de Exercício Físico. Para a amostra apenas foi considerada a população com
idade igual ou superior a 65 anos, e com ausência de história de perturbação
neurológicas/psiquiátrica, assim como de alterações visuais e/ou auditivas não corrigidas e
motoras. Os resultados encontrados indicam a influencia da prática de exercício físico
acompanhado nos resultados obtidos na FAB, isto é, a prática de exercício físico
acompanhado melhora as funções executivas, existindo ainda uma influência da depressão.
Foi encontrada ainda uma relação entre a idade e a escolaridade nos scores obtidos no MOCA
e na FAB. Em suma é importante promover a prática de exercício físico em idosos
institucionalizados, uma vez que, promove a manutenção do funcionamento cognitivo.

To answer the objective, 50 participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Frontal Assessment Battery, REY T15, Questionnaire of Social Support and Questionnaire of Working Memory, to Rudas, GDS, and the Physical Exercise Questionnaire.

The results found indicate the influence of the practice of accompanied physical exercise in the results obtained in the FAB, that is, the practice of accompanied physical exercise improves executive functions, and there is still an influence of depression. A relationship between age and education was also found in the scores obtained at MOCA and FAB. In short, it is important to promote the practice of physical exercise in institutionalized elderly since it promotes the maintenance of cognitive functioning.
