Abstract: Objective: The objective of the study was to analyze the association between the time in minutes per week due to participating in exercises programs in Health Family Units (USF) and fulfillment of functional fitness. Methods: The sample was constituted by 49 post-menopause women, all participants of the physical exercise programs at USF for at least six months. The time in minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical exercise was determined by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ -shortversion). The functional fulfillment was evaluated through the battery of tests from American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD),and complemented with stand up and sit down tests from the chair in 30 seconds, to measure the inferior members strength.Results: A significant difference between group 1 and group 2 was detected to agility (p=0.038), and between group 1 and group 3 (p=0.006). To ForçaMS was checked significant difference between groups 1 and 2 (p=0.05), andgroups 1 and 3 (p=0.002). To ForçaMI Significant differences were observed to ForçaMI between groups 1 and 3 (p=0.001), and groups 2 and 3 (p=0.038). To the other functional fulfillment compounds, significant differences were not observed among the groups.Conclusion: The results lead to believe that the highest time in minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical exercise contribute to a better expansion of functional fits in a post-menopause woman, mainly in the functional fulfillment compounds, agility, superior and inferior members strength.
