One of the efforts to maintain the independence of the elderly is through regular and appropriate physical activities, such as elderly Gymnastics. Purpose: this study aims to determine the effect of elderly Gymnastics on the level of independence in daily activities in the elderly in the community. Methods: this study uses quantitative design with quasi-experiment pretest-posttest approach. Samples of 30 elderly were taken by purposive sampling from an elderly community in the working area of Ambacang Padang Health Center.

Data were collected using the ADL (Activities of Daily Living) instrument and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: the results showed a significant increase in the elderly independence score after participating in gymnastics (p = 0.001). Before the intervention, most of the elderly were at a mild to moderate level of dependence, while after the intervention, the majority showed complete independence in carrying out daily activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, to walking.
