              Resumo

              Objective: to compare the functional capacity and quality of life of older women practicing and not practicing hydrogymnastics. Methods: this is a simple natural experiment study, of a sample of 40 older women practicing hydrogymnastics and 40 not practicing hydrogymnastics. Latin American Development Group’s protocol was used to evaluate the functional capacity, and the WHOQOL-Bref and Old was used to evaluate the quality of life.Results: there were no differences in functional capacity or quality of life between the groups.Conclusion: it is concluded that there was not enough strong evidence to prove that older women practicing hydrogymnastics have a different functional capacity and quality of life compared to those not practicing physical exercise.
