The measurement of the physical activity with the questionnaire by Baecke, adapted by Voorrips et. al., (1991). The EI of TMMS - 24; Salovey et al., 1995). We used the SRS to assess response style (Nolen-Hoeksema y Morrow, 1991). The results show that the practice of regular physical activity causes a significant improvement in the EIP (attention: t = 3,217; p < 0,001, clarity: t = 4,214; p < 0,001, repair: t = 5,662; p < 0,001) and the distraction response style (t = 3,072; p < 0,001). The conclusions of this study show that the elderly people s participation in a regular physical activity program may be a protection factor against deterioration of all emotional intelligence, and consist of a pleasant distracting response to depressive mood.
