    Background: Older adults experience physiological changes inherent to the aging process, which are closely linked to functional limitations that have an impact on activities of daily living. Therefore, functional physical performance plays an important role in the quality of life of older adults, for this reason it is considered important to evaluate physical capacities in this population group, in order to subsequently develop personalized diagnoses and treatments. Objective: To determine the physical performance of the "Historia Viva San Joaquín" Older Adults Group. Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out with a sample of 50 older adults belonging to the "Historia Viva San Joaquín" Older Adults Group. The evaluation of functional physical performance was carried out through the application of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). The data collected were analyzed and presented in the form of frequencies and percentages through Kobotoolbox version 2.023 and Microsoft Excel 2016.
