Abstract
Resistance exercise has been widely recommended for elderly population, since this type of exercise induces important health benefits, especially to improve functional capacity and preserve muscle mass, thus reflecting on the quality of life of older individuals. Among the several components of the resistance exercises the selection of movements to be performed is one of the most important and must be carefully analyzed. Although there may be a wide range of options, the most important recommendations do not specifically indicate the movements that should be included and muscle groups that should be prioritized when prescribing resistance exercise for the elderly. Therefore, considering that there is a lack of information for the Physical Education professional about the topic, this study was developed to support the choices of the movements that will compose the resistance exercise program for the elderly. The study was carried out by compiling and analyzing assumptions and scientific evidences related to resistance exercises and needs of elderly individuals. In conclusion, the choice of movements should be based on the principles of kinesiology, the needs of the elderly, muscle action and exercise safety in order to obtain beneficial results for general health and attenuate possible risks.

Resumo
O exercício resistido vem sendo amplamente recomendado para população idosa, uma vez que esse tipo de exercício físico induz a importantes benefícios para saúde; sobretudo, no aprimoramento da capacidade funcional e na preservação da massa muscular, refletindo, desse modo, na qualidade de vida do indivíduo idoso. Dentre os diversos componentes dos exercícios resistidos, a seleção dos movimentos a serem executados é um dos mais importantes e deve ser cuidadosamente analisado. Embora possa existir vasta gama de opções, as principais recomendações não indicam especificamente os movimentos que devem ser incluídos e os grupos musculares que devem ser priorizados nos programas de exercícios resistidos. Portanto, considerando haver uma lacuna de informações sobre o tema, o estudo foi realizado com intuito de subsidiar a seleção dos movimentos que deverão compor os programas de exercícios resistidos para idosos. O estudo foi realizado mediante compilação e análise de pressupostos e evidências científicas referentes aos exercícios resistidos e as necessidades dos idosos. Concluiu-se que a seleção dos movimentos deve ser baseada nos princípios da cinesiologia, nas necessidades dos idosos, na ação muscular e na segurança de execução para se alcançar resultados benéficos para saúde em geral e atenuar possíveis riscos.
