All subjects evaluated before and after intervention by International PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Questionnaire. Subjects’ PHYSICAL ACTIVITY was scored, based on the personal activity protocol, and the results were compared. Significance level was considered as P<0.05.Results: Frequency distributions of the female subjects were 29 (82%) and 28 (80%) in study and control groups respectively. Mean (SD) scores of PHYSICAL ACTIVITY were 347.8 (174.1) and 321.7 (119.2) before intervention, and 641.3 (240.6) and 331.3 (101.5) after intervention in study and control groups respectively. Independent t-test showed a significant increase in PHYSICAL ACTIVITY score in study group, compared to control (t=4.06, P<0.001).Conclusions: The level of PHYSICAL ACTIVITY can be improved in the ELDERLY through application of an EMPOWERMENT program so as to take steps toward solving their immobility related problems and promoting their HEALTH through application of an EMPOWERMENT program at this period of their life.
