Abstract

The fact of performing physical activity is of vital importance and if a muscle strengthening exercise program plan is added to this, it is even more beneficial for the health of our body. The aim of this study was to determine if muscle strengthening exercise helps improve walking speed in these people. Information was collected from the main scientific bases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Scielo, Elsevier. For the investigation of the information, the following descriptors of health sciences were used: Gait; Walking speed; Pass test; Exercise techniques with movement; old man; Exercise with therapy. The inclusion criteria were the articles that were within the period 2017-2022, in the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages. 30 articles were incorporated into this review article. In these articles, information was found on the speed of walking and muscle strength exercises in the elderly. With the information collected, it is concluded that the application of a program of muscle strengthening exercises in the lower limb helps to improve the speed of walking in older adults.
