Furthermore, the aging of the population increased since several decades in each country around the world. That’s why it becomes a public health care. From a public health stand-point, it is very important to identify and develop preventive strategies that may attenuate the gradual decline in functional ability associated with the aging process. The elderly, that were more physically active revealed a positive attitude towards life, were healthier and demonstrated a better capacity to face stress and tension [2]. Regular participation in physical activity, easily increased the functional status and maintained an adequate level of physical and cognitive functions [3].
