Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare functionality, the risk of falls and the fear of falling in the elderly due to the profile of physical activity. Method: This is a cross-sectional study, carried out with 80 elderly people of both sexes. A sociodemographic and health questionnaire was used, the fear of falling was assessed using the Falls Effectiveness Scale (FES-I) and functionality was assessed using the health and disability assessment (WHODAS 2.0). Results: Data analysis was performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests and Mann-Whitney “U” tests. A significance level of p <0.05 was considered. The main findings demonstrated that the elderly who attend the gym more than three times a week have better functional capacity in fear of falling (p = 0.020) and in the domains of cognition (p = 0.024), mobility (p = 0.042) and self-care (p = 0.036). Conclusion: It is concluded that the higher frequency of physical activity seems to be an intervening factor in the lower risk of falls, less fear of falling and greater functionality.
