    The growth of the elderly population in recent days is an important indicator of longevity. The aging process is linked to important losses in several physical capabilities, which lead to decreased functional capacity and independence of the elderly In studies in the literature, it is observed that these changes put at risk the quality of life of these people, by limiting their ability to perform, with vigor, their daily activities and put in greater vulnerability to your health. The physical exercise contributes significantly to the maintenance of physical fitness of the elderly, influencing both in their health and in their functional capabilities. However, the physical exercises may present some limitations, due to physiological changes imposed on the aging process. An application was developed in this work to provide a resource for people of old age, so that they can exercise safely with some control over what is happening during this practice. This feature also shows a great attraction for these people, making good use of technology focused on health, in addition to promoting safety, easy physiological monitoring during physical activity.
