Sport of the elderly
Walter Tokarski
Sažetak
The elderly have become one of the most important target groups in the world of sports. Nevertheless, the increase of the sport involvement of the elderly is far less important than estimated. In later life the elderly get less and less interested in physical exercising and sport, across the life course being active in sport decreases. Being happy without sports, having other hobbies and having no time rank highest on the list of reasons for not being involved in sports. But without doubt such physical exercises and sport activities have particularly positive influence on improving the quality of life, on health, on life expectancy, on mental stability and on self-confidence. The knowledge regarding the value of physical exercise and sport in later life is quite impressive. Today there are no limits whatsoever for sport activities so there is a multitude of different sports to choose from. New types of sport activities for the elderly should be developed especially for beginners. For the future new designed programs, better and target-orientated information and better training of the instructors are demanded.
