**4. Conclusions**

Physical activity represents an important non-medicinal contribution to the evolution of cognitive performance. However, it is necessarily based on literatures,

Det\_Ant = detection of anticipation); identification test (Id\_Rap = speed identification, Id\_Pr = precision identification, Id\_Ac = hit ID, Id\_Er = error identification, and Id\_An = Idle ID); learning from a card (AC) (AC\_Cap = learning speed card, AC\_Pr = learning card accuracy, AC\_Ac = learning card successes, AC\_Er = learning card errors, and AC\_An = learning anticipation card); and one volta (UV) (Vel\_Rap = Fast speed, Pr\_Volta = precision velocity, Vel\_Ac = speed of hits, Vel\_Er = speed of errors, and Vel\_An = speed of anticipation). The values obtained

The tests were composed of the following variables: detection test (speed detection; precision detection, detection hits, error detection, and detection of anticipation), identification test (speed identification, precision identification, identification of hit, error identification, and identification in anticipation), learning from a card (learning speed card, learning card accuracy, learning card successes, learning card errors), and learning anticipation (LA) (speed of errors and speed of anticipation). The values obtained from the tests will be presented in

The data were collected in two stages, the first one after the selection of the elderly, who passed the battery of the four tests, taking from this result the mean, standard deviation, and maximum and minimum time reached in each test. The second stage was produced with elderly practicing resistance exercises, where they passed the same battery of the four tests, thus also generating the mean, the standard deviation, and the maximum and the minimum of time in each test. Prior to the application of the tests, it was necessary to perform a demonstration of the protocol to facilitate the understanding and learning of the test; later, it was applied

The CogState® computerized cognitive evaluation battery is composed of the identification tests, with the purpose of measuring attention, using the reaction time of choice paradigm (RTC); its cognitive domain is attention and the performance measure is the speed of performance. The detection test aims to measure performance velocity using the simple reaction time paradigm, and its cognitive domain is the psychomotor function and has performance velocity as the measure of results. The learning test mediates visual memory using the pattern separation paradigm (SP); its cognitive domain is visual learning, and the measure of result is performance accuracy. The one-turn test mediates working memory. The number of laps (NV) paradigm has cognitive domain as the working memory; its perfor-

The information presented underwent quantitative analyzes, and the number of positive and negative responses was evaluated, divided by the number of attempts. The data were classified as no-parametric with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of the dispersion curve, and the cognitive performance variables were compared with the Mann-Whitney U test (**Table 1**). The procedures were performed with significance level of p < 0.05 using the Statistical Package for the Social Science, Version 25.

Elderly practicing weight exercises, demonstrated better cognitive performance

In the present study, in the investigations of Dias et al. [20] with 104 elderly people, where the differences in the cognitive aspects between physical exercise practitioners (G1) and non-practitioners (G2) were evaluated, it was observed that
