Resumen
Aging is an irreversible, individual and inevitable process in all human beings that brings
several problems at the physiological level, the same ones that are complicated by a
sedentary lifestyle because elderly people for different reasons reduce their daily physical
activity. For this reason, the project aims to develop a physical activity plan aimed at
sedentary elderly men and women aged 65-85 years in the city of Azogues, province of
Cañar (Ecuador) to improve their functional independence. The methodology applied in
the present work is a systematic review, it is based on articles subtracted from scientific
research works that are consulted from digital bases such as: SciELO-Scientific
Electronic Library Online, Science Direct, Redalyc and Google Scholar, for the search of

sedentary lifestyle”, “elderly and physical exercise”, “aging and sedentary lifestyle”,
“physical capacities” and “sarcopenia”. The evidence collected from studies shows that
non-sedentary older adults have lower rates of: mortality; coronary cardiopathy;
hypertension; stroke; type 2 diabetes; colon cancer; breast cancer; improved
cardiorespiratory and muscular functions; healthier body mass and composition
