Resumo: Introduction: The increased importance of noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) in the health profile of the population led to a demand for the surveillance of their risk factors and protection. The elderly population has been experiencing great expansion in recent decades and their increased vulnerability to NCDs classifies it as a priority target for this surveillance. Objective: To analyze the temporal tendency of leisure time physical activity among the elderly population in the Brazilian capitals and Federal District between 2009 and 2017. Methods: Vigitel data collected between 2009 and 2017 (n=129,967 elderly) (60 years) were used. Information related to the intensity, weekly frequency (days/week) and habitual duration (minutes/episode) of leisure physical activity practice were used to identify the percentage of elderly attending to the current recommendations of the practice (150min/week). This information was estimated for each year, for the entire population and according to socio-demographic and health strata. Prais-Winsten regression were used for temporal variation analysis. Results: The percentage of the elderly referring the physical activity practice in the 90 days before the interview increased from 37.2% to 43.0% in the period between 2009 and 2017 (0,70 percentage points (pp)/year). The majority of the elderly opted for moderate intensity activity (93.9% in 2017). The percentage of elderly individuals who reported not practicing physical activity at least one day per week decreased (from 64.2% to 59.4%, -0.73pp/year), with an increase in the practice ranges between 1 and 4 days/week. The usual duration of the practice also increased, with the percentage of practice in 60 minutes or more per episode, increasing from 48.1% to 58.2% (0.62pp/year). As a result, the percentage of elderly people reaching the recommended volume of leisure physical activity practice increased from 23.2% to 25.8% (0.30pp/year) with higher increases observed in those aged 60-69 years (0.39pp / year), with education between 0 and 8 years of study (0.22pp/year) and residents in the capitals of the North region (0.99pp /year).. In general, higher increases were observed in strata with lower level of practice at the beginning of the studied period. Conclusion: The practice of physical activity evolved favorably, with an increase in the percentage of elderly attending to the practice recommendations.
