Abstract

The Health Academy program is a strategy for health promotion and production of care in basic care. It stands out as a new equipment in the service network, enhancing individual and collective care actions and strengthening health promotion in the Unified Health System. This proposal of intervention aims to improve the adherence and permanence of the elderly users of the health services of the Family Health Strategy Caminhos do Ivituruy to the physical activities program of the Health Academy of the municipality of Serro, through an action plan that contemplated a set of activities of an educational and informative nature and a better structuring of the existing services as a way to strengthen the Health Promotion. Through this proposal, future discussions about sedentary lifestyle among the elderly in health promotion and that public emergency policies are designed to meet the demand of an elderly population that already exists in a country that is aging more and more. There is proven evidence that exercise promotes longevity and elevates quality of life, provided there is a firm decision to take care of health, so this plan of action will undoubtedly be a proposal for action to confront and strengthen health promotion. We find that the proposed participation in this action plan will be associated to better levels of physical activity, since, besides offering a proposal of physical activity, it stimulates its practice in contexts other than Basic Attention.
