Introduction: It is estimated that in 2050 the world population over 60 years old will reach the number of 2 billion individuals, of which about 434 million will be over 80 years old. Objective: To verify the association between training time, body composition and gender with physical performance of elderly strength training practitioners.

Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, waist-hip circumference and lastly two tests to assess lower limb strength and agility. Results: The volunteers had average age and BMI (68.18+4.92 years and 26.92+3.34 kg / m2), respectively. In the total sample, 62.5% were female (n=25). A statistically positive and significant correlation was found between the TUG test and BMI (p=0.044). In the association test there was no statistical difference in the TUG and Lift tests and in the training time, BMI and gender (p> 0.05). In all possible alterations of present subgroups or TUG test result was considered excellent. Conclusion: Resistance training practitioners resisted a good result for strength and endurance, regardless of gender, body mass index or training time, as well as the higher the body mass index of lower performing elderly. the same about these parameters.
