The study aimed to investigate the influence of physical activity on the quality of life of participants and not participants of a Physical Activity Program attended in the Family Health Basic Units, in the municipality of Campo Grande-MS. The population was composed of 90 individuals over 40 years, of both sexes, who replied to the questionnaire SF-36. Results showed statistically significant differences between groups, with better values for the physical activity practitioner population. It was possible to conclude that such practice can contribute to the improvement of the quality of life in health promotion programs, such as the Family Health Strategy.
