IMPLICAÇÕES SOBRE A ELABORAÇÃO DE PROGRAMAS DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA PARA IDOSOS SOB A LUZ DO IDEÁRIO DA PROMOÇÃO DA SAÚDE

Abstract

This paper aims to present and reflect about the implications in the development of Physical Education programs for elderly people in the perspective of health promotion. The considerations and reflections discussed here enable us to understand health in a more democratic and human dimension, in which the individual´s personal interests are considered in the elaboration of Physical Education programs, going beyond traditional models in which the predominant approach emphasizes almost exclusively biological and physiological aspects, such as those observed in the biomedical model.
