GELASE exercise is an elderly physical exercise program that involves the lower limbs to improve its strength and balance. This program consisted of health education sessions, sharing sessions, exercises, and role play which were attended by five cadres and one community health centres nurse. The targets were given pre and post-program questionnaires and an evaluation form was carried out. It was known that all targets experienced an increase in knowledge and ability about the risk of falling and the GELASE exercise.
