The effect of distance learning using a modified Pilates system on cognitive abilities and quality of life of the third age people was studied. The set of exercises proposed by the authors contributed to a reliable increase in the indicators of physical, social, intellectual and emotional health, and the psychological status of the experimental group of non-working pensioners. The distance format of combined optimization of the motor regime and correction of cognitive abilities can be recommended to ensure systematic training at any time of the year and in any weather, which is critically important for the age group studied.
