Analysis of the results reveals empowerment, development and transformation in the participating social actors. It was based on the Model of Integral Development, from Cuba, which is linked to the improvement of the quality of life of society. It originated during the initial training in the intra-university community of the Bachelor's degree in Physical Culture of the University of Cienfuegos, and it focused on health benefit as a resource of quality of life. It emerged with the experience of a group of university students of different courses who were unable to perform physical education by medical prescription and who achieved to do regular physical exercise with the use of Tai Chi Chuan. The student knowledge would later spread to older adults with chronic non-communicable diseases in neighborhoods near the University, which demanded to apply said knowledge in that community. This result created a new demand of the University from a provincial sports institution in Cienfuegos: to go beyond professionals linked to sport in different municipal communities and to make this knowledge available in order to meet social needs related to the quality of life of older adults. Se socializa una aproximación a la sistematización de experiencias logradas desde un proyecto extensionista durante los años 2004 al 2012, cuyo análisis de resultados desvela empoderamiento, desarrollo y transformación en los actores sociales participantes. Fundamentado, desde Cuba, en el Modelo de Desarrollo Integral, vinculado al mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de la sociedad. Originado durante la formación inicial en la comunidad intra universitaria de la carrera de Licenciatura en Cultura Física de la Universidad de Cienfuegos, comenzó con una mirada de beneficio para la salud, como recurso de calidad de vida, a un grupo de estudiantes universitarios de diferentes carreras que, impedidos de realizar Educación Física por prescripción facultativa, logran, con el empleo del Tai Chi Chuan, practicar actividad física sistemática.  Los saberes estudiantiles se difundirían después hacia adultos mayores con enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles en barrios cercanos a la Universidad, que demandó aplicar dicho saber en esa comunidad. Este resultado trajo una nueva demanda para la Universidad desde una institución provincial deportiva en Cienfuegos: superación a profesionalesvinculados al deporte en diferentes comunidades municipales, extensión de este conocimiento para satisfacer necesidades sociales relacionadas con la calidad de vida de adultos mayores.
