dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Physical activity significantly impacts healthy ageing, reducing the changes caused by it and is indicated to improve functional capacity that enables independence in day-to-day activities. Exercise is a type of physical activity that has been shown to reduce or delay these alterations. Typically, individuals in an older age range are less physically active than younger individuals and perform less demanding physical activities. Walking is considered a complex motor task and one of the capacities that may be altered due to ageing, and the decrease in physical activity may be related to these changes in gait. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between physical activity and gait in people over 60. Materials and Methods: Use of the PubMed, B-on and PEDro databases, using the descriptors aged, elderly, physical activity, exercise, activities of daily liv-ing and gait between June and July 2021. RCT’s on the relationship of physical activity with gait in people over 60, with less than or equal to 10 years of publication. The analysis of the validity of the studies was made through the PEDro - Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale. Results: A total of 9 articles, which met the inclusion criteria, were selected for the systematic review. Conclusion: As the elderly population is more prone to sedentary lifestyles, the gait will be one of the factors to develop limitations, and we can verify through this review that different types of interventions, which promote physical activi-ty, help improve the gait.pt_PT
