Among them, water aerobics stands out as an exercise option that has low impact on joints, being recommended for this audience. The present study aimed to identify the perception of elderly people about the effects of water aerobics on knee joints, focusing on how this physical activity influences well being, pain, mobility and joint functionality. For this purpose, a qualitative research was conducted with 11 elderly women who regularly attend water aerobics classes at the Serviço Social do Comércio (SESC) in the municipality of Castanhal, Pará. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews and analyzed qualitatively. The results demonstrated that the regular practice of water aerobics contributes to the reduction of pain, improvement of mobility, health and especially to the knee joints of elderly practitioners.Acesso AbertoHidroginásticaEnvelhecimentoPessoa idosaWater aerobicsAgingElderly personCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::EDUCACAO FISICATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - MonografiaAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
