Abstract

It is the fact that people get older and that more and more people find themselves to be in the third age. The author analyses people that are over 60 years of age and that are taking active part in sport. The sample group consisted of people working at the Kamenski University in Bratislava. By means of the questionnaire the author has found out about their opinions on sport, about their active role in a particular sports activity, and about the importance of this activity for the people who are said to be in the third age. In the end, the author suggests the ways in which these people can be encouraged to take part in regular physical activities through education institutions and mass media.
