The WHO (World Health Organization) states that life expectancy in people over 60 is growing faster than in any other age group in most countries. Policies regarding aging are a challenge for society as a whole, in order to improve psycho-functional skills. Psychomotor activity in the elderly health promotion adds value, as a vehicle of pleasurable sensations, experience of movement and therapeutic relaxation, giving a new meaning to expressive, communicative, practical and cognitive abilities. The experimental workshop, held at “Espacio Socio Cultural Arturo Illia” in the city of Rio Cuarto (agreement with the Institute Ramon Menendez Pidal from the city of Rio Cuarto), included 20 people between 65 and 80 years old; their qualitative and descriptive analysis reflected each participant´s psychomotor performance when playing.Downloads
