    Objetivo: Determinar la condici贸n f铆sica funcional de adultos mayores de los Centros D铆a, Centros Vida y Centros de Promoci贸n Protecci贸n Integral al Adulto Mayor del 谩rea urbana del municipio de Manizales. Materiales y m茅todos: Estudio transversal, descriptivo, comparativo; evalu贸 variables de condici贸n f铆sica funcional: fuerza muscular, flexibilidad, resistencia aer贸bica, equilibrio y agilidad e 铆ndice de masa corporal; an谩lisis de datos univariado y bivariado, procesamiento mediante programa estad铆stico SPSS庐, versi贸n 22, licenciado por Universidad Aut贸noma de Manizales. Resultados: Edad promedio 74,13 卤 8,18 hombres y 71,2 卤 7,02 mujeres. Un 78,7% de mujeres practican actividad f铆sica 3 a 4 veces por semana y solo 21,3% de hombres lo hace. En Centros D铆a hay asociaci贸n estad铆sticamente significativa entre resistencia aer贸bica y frecuencia de actividad f铆sica, con magnitud de fuerza de asociaci贸n nula 0,02. Al aplicar el Chi-cuadrado se encuentra asociaci贸n estad铆sticamente significativa entre g茅nero y fuerza de MMII: 0,103, y de MMSS, con fuerza de asociaci贸n nula: 0,124. Conclusiones: La condici贸n f铆sica funcional, en los participantes de Centros D铆a y Centros Vida mostr贸 mayor compromiso de flexibilidad en miembros superiores; Centros de Promoci贸n y Protecci贸n se evidenci贸 compromiso de flexibilidad de miembros superiores e inferiores, fuerza muscular de miembros inferiores, resistencia aer贸bica, equilibrio y agilidad. 脥ndice de masa corporal en Centros de Promoci贸n y Protecci贸n tiende a clasificarse como peso insuficiente; Centros D铆a peso normal, seguido por sobrepeso y obesidad; Centros Vida distribuci贸n similar entre peso normal y sobrepeso, que puede relacionarse con h谩bitos, estilos de vida y condiciones de salud asociadas.Objective: To determine the functional physical condition of the elderly in Daycare Centers, Life Centers and Comprehensive Promotion Protection Centers in the urban area of the Municipality of Manizales. Materials and methods: A cross sectional, descriptive, comparative study was conducted that evaluated functional physical condition variables: muscle strength, flexibility, anaerobic endurance, balance, agility and body mass index. Univariate and bivariate data analysis was performed by using SPSS庐 statistics software, version 22, licensed by Universidad Aut贸noma de Manizales. Results: The mean age for males was 74.13 卤 8.18 and 71.2 卤 7.02 for females. A 78.7% of women practice physical activity 3 to 4 times a week and only 21.3% of men do it. There is statistically significant association between aerobic resistance and physical activity frequency in day centers, with void magnitude of association strength of only 0.02. When applying the chi-square, a statistically significant association between gender and strength of LMW: 0.103, and of LMSS, with void association strength, 0.124 is found. Conclusions: The functional physical condition in participants of daycare centers and life centers showed greater involvement of upper limbs flexibility. In promotion and protection centers results exhibited involvement of upper and lower limbs flexibility, lower limb muscle strength, aerobic endurance, balance, and agility. The body mass index in promotion and protection centers tended to be classified as underweight, in day centers participants showed normal weight, followed by overweight and obesity, and in life centers there was similar distribution of normal weight and overweight which might be related to their habits, lifestyle and health conditions as well
