%X The present study aimed to determine the effects of a physical activity program on the functional autonomy of elderly women. The sample was divided into an experimental group (EG; n = 20; 68.51 ¡À 5.02 years; BMI = 27.01 ¡À 4.35) submitted to a physical activity program, and a control group (CG; n = 20; 67.01 ¡À 3.51 years; BMI = 26.71 ¡À 5.74). Functional autonomy was assessed using tests from the GDLAM autonomy protocol: 10 meter walk test (10MW), rising from a sitting position (RSP), rising from a ventral decubitus position (RVDP), rising from a chair and moving around the house (RCMH) and putting on and taking off a t-shirt (PTT), after which the autonomy index (AI) was calculated. In the EG, ANOVA showed significant reductions in execution times for the RSP (  = -3.92 s; p = 0.0001), RCMH (  = -9.61 s; p = 0.0001), 10MW (  = -0.94 s; p = 0.038) and RVDP (  = -1.15 s; p = 0.036) tests, as well as the AI (  = -6.27; p = 0.0001). This was not observed in the CG. Intergroup comparisons demonstrated that execution times for the RSP ( % = -36.63; p = 0.0001), RCMH ( % = -20.27; p = 0.0001), 10mW ( % = -12.54; p = 0.002) and RVDP ( % = -25.10; p = 0.005) tests and the AI ( % = -21.37; p = 0.0001) of the EG were shorter than those of the CG. These results indicate that elderly subjects in the EG showed improved performance in activities of daily living after engaging in physical exercise. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar os efeitos de um programa de atividade f¨ªsica sobre a autonomia funcional em mulheres idosas. A amostra foi distribu¨ªda em grupo experimental (GE; n = 20; 68,51 ¡À 5,02 anos; IMC = 27,01 ¡À 4,35) submetido a um programa de atividade f¨ªsica e grupo controle (GC; n = 20; 67,01 ¡À 3,51 anos; IMC = 26,71 ¡À 5,74). A autonomia funcional foi avaliada por meio dos testes do protocolo de autonomia GDLAM, caminhar 10 m (C10 m), levantar-se da posi  o sentada (LPS), levantar-se da posi  o dec¨²bito ventral (LPDV), levantar-se da cadeira e locomover-se pela casa (LCLC) e vestir e tirar uma camiseta (VTC), e calculouse o ¨ªndice de autonomia (IG). A ANOVA apresentou redu  es significativas no tempo de execu  o nos testes LPS (  = -3,92s; p = 0,0001), LCLC (  = -9,61 s; p = 0,0001), C10 m (  = 0,94 s; p = 0,038) e LPDV (  = -1,15 s; p = 0,036) e no IG (  = -6,27; p = 0,0001) no GE. O mesmo n o ocorreu no GC. Nas compara  es intergrupos, observou-se que as redu  es nos tempos de execu  o dos testes LPS ( % = -36,63; p = 0,0001), LCLC ( % = -20,27; p = 0,0001), C10 m ( % = -12,54; p = 0,002) e LPDV ( % = -25,10; p = 0,005) e no IG ( % = -21,37; p = 0,0001) do GE
