Introduction: Regular exercise has numerous benefits for cardiovascular health, especially for the elderly, such as preventing hypertension, atherosclerosis and vascular accidents. With the increase in life expectancy, cardiovascular diseases have become a growing concern in public health, being the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Therefore, the implementation of prevention programs and the promotion of physical activity are essential for improving the health and quality of life of the elderly. Objective: To provide information on the benefits of physical activity for improving cardiovascular diseases. Methodology: Literature review using the SciELO and PubMed databases, from August to November 2024. Articles from 2007 to 2024 were included, and of the 35 references, 11 were articles from before 2018, using specific keywords such as: physical activity, the elderly, cardiovascular problems and quality of life. Results and discussion: Elderly people who practice aerobic and strength exercises have a lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases, as well as improved mental health. However, barriers such as fear of falls and health conditions hinder adherence to regular practice. Conclusion: It can be concluded that physically active elderly people have fewer symptoms associated with cardiovascular disease, as well as significant improvements in their quality of life. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to create public interventions so that this section of the population constantly practices physical exercise.
