The increased rate of falls in older adults is a factor that increases the risk of morbidity and mortality, this being the second cause of death worldwide. The objective of the work is to analyze the effect of 8 weeks of resisted exercise on lower limb strength in older adults. The interventions were carried out with 42 participants divided into 2 groups, Control Group (CG) and Experiment Group (EG). Each session is 60 minutes, 3 times a week. GC performed flexibility, balance and coordination exercises and GE performed resisted exercises. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, ANOVA repeated measures for two factors group and time. Among the results, a statistically significant difference was obtained (EG – CG) (M=1.88 95% CI=0.28;3.48), time (week 0 to week 8) (M=-3.024 95% CI=-4.082;-1.966), interaction week 8 and 0 and GE CG (M= 2.43 95% CI=0.65;4.21).
