Population aging and growing recognition of the rights of people with disabilities have highlighted the need for inclusive practices in physical education. In this context, force training emerges as a fundamental tool for the promotion of health, functional autonomy and quality of life of the elderly and individuals with special needs. This article aims to analyze, from a scientific and applied perspective, the contribution of the personal trainer in the elaboration of resisted programs adapted to different conditions, such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia, motor and intellectual deficiencies. To this end, the physiological effects of strength training on aging, the necessary adaptations in exercise protocols for special populations, the role of the professional as an agent and public health agent and the observed physical, cognitive and social benefits are discussed. Analysis articulates data from international and national research, pointing out ways for a professional evidence -based professional practice.
