AB The aim of the study was to verify the functional capacity and the physical composition (BMI) of old sedentary population and with formal and non-formal physical practice. Sample composed by 90 volunteers of both sexes, apparently healthy, aged between 65 and 93 years, with an average of 75 ± 8 years.The study was based on the application of the Rikli and Jones battery (1999) to value the functional capacity of the old population, and the BMI was valued through anthropometric measurements. The obtained data were treated through the analysis of variance (SCHEFFÉ). The individuals practicing formal physical activity obtained results significantly (p = 0,05) better in all the tests, comparatively to sedentary individuals. The practitioners of non-formal physical activity obtained results significantly (p=0,05) better in four tests of battery, comparatively to the sedentary.The results indicate that the practice of sessions of supervised exercise and with objectives as for the intensity and type of exercise, contributes to the improvement of the functional capacity and BMI of the old population.
