After performing exercises in two experimental groups (Pilates and Aerobics), the results of the findings were analyzed. After checking the normality of the collected data using the Kolmograf-Smirnov test, the hypothesis test was investigated. Results: The results of hypotheses with the covariance test showed that pilates and aerobic exercises have a positive and significant effect on the level of depression and anxiety in elderly women, which was significant at the 0.01 level. Conclusion: According to the results of the research, it is suggested to use the protocol of Pilates and aerobic exercises in the current research to reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
