The objective of this project is to determine the influence of physical activity related to the functional capacity of older adults residing in the "Hogar San José" of the city of Guayaquil. The research method developed was quantitative, of explanatory scope, pre-experimental longitudinal design. The study population was 75 patients and the sample of 50 patients, who met the inclusion criteria. The comparative results between pre and post evaluation performed in adults by means of three evaluation tests show a 24% improvement in balance and 12% in gait (Tinetti test and 6% in the performance of daily activities and self-care (Barthel Index).
