Sažetak

Aim: The aim of this study is to show differences between the urban and rural population older than 65
years in physical activity, quality and quantity. Examinees and methods: 100 examinees were included in
this study, from which 50thewerecitizensof Požega and50 respondents were residents of villages: Trenkovo,
Jakšić, Vidovci, Mihaljevci and Završje. All respondents were older than 65 years. In urban group
there were 23 women and 27 men. In rural group there were 28 women and 22 men. They were chosen
casually from the city of Požega and from the rural area around Požega. The modified questionnaire
according to Back was used. The level of statistical significance was p<0,05.
Results: This study showed that 28% of urban examinees and 18 % of rural examinees practice some
regular physical activity. The urban population practice more physical activity but not significantly
more. Statistically significant difference between urban and rural population was registered in only one
variable (sweating, p 0,003), while the other variables haven’t showed significance.
Both urban and rural population spend most of their free time watching television. The urban population
practices sport few months of the year, but in the period when the rural population does some sport, they
do more hours weekly. According to the gender, men do more physical activities than women. Women
practices ports with lower intensity level, but during more hours in the week than men do.
Conclusion: We concluded that urban and rural population older than 65 years rarely practice planned
physical activity. Although urban population practices more physical activity than rural population (28%
to 18%), that difference isn’t statistically significant. Both urban and rural population older than 65 years
don’t find very important to practice some physical activity aiming to preserve their health.
