Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the
influential factors in the adherence and desistance
of aged people in a physical exercise program
implanted in Local Health Units (ULS) of Florianopolis,
SC. To reach this, 13 elderly, with mean age of 71,08
(SD=5,75), were interviewed by a semi-structured
interview applied by telephone. It was concluded that
the main adherence motive to the program was
relationships aspects (friends and/or families
invitation) and the mostly frequent desistance motives
were personal causes (spouse’s health
problems, death of the spouse or other relatives).
