Created in January 2015; with the support of MEC-PROEXT / 2015-2016; it provides free treatment to 165 elderly patients (aged 60-86 years); divided into 10 groups. Activities take place twice a week for 50 minutes in the following categories: Pilates; calisthenics; swimming; water aerobics; weight training and tennis. Before physical exercise; the elderly participate in 50 minutes of interdisciplinary activities; as follows: health lectures; psychosocial dynamics; art expression workshops and digital inclusion. The team consists of 45 Physical Education; Management; Visual Arts; Nursing; Pharmacy; Medicine; Psychology and Computer Science students; advised by 15 undergraduate professors.
