A Life Style of Women and Men Aged 50-75

摘要

In 50% a lifestyle determines health and the length of one's life. 2 types may be distinguished: pro-health and antihealth. The aim of this paper is to present a lifestyle of people age 50 - 75 as well as to find the connection between a lifestyle and the level of pro-health behaviour. The research was conducted by the first part of the 'Canadian survey' on 74 people participating sports classes organized by the University of Physical Education and Sport in Gdaсsk. In case of younger women the dominant objective is relax, in older subgroups however dominate the objectives connected with increased wellbeing, both physical and mental. In the analysed group dominate non-smoking people. Large group of respondents declares also that the most part of their spare time they spend on the activities that do not involve physical activity, such as reading or watching television. herefore, the group in question demonstrates some modes of prohealth lifestyle, but simultaneously indicates some kind of incongruity in its declarations, for example they declare the objectives connected with the physical activity, but at the same time they spend the majority of time on the activities that do not involve it.
