Diploma Thesis Title: Impact of sports on health of elderly people Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine how elderly people evaluate the impact of sports on their own health. Methods: The study included 46 elderly people (35 women and 11 men) who are the residents of one of the Nursing homes in County of Dubrovnik. The data were collected by respondents themselves completing the attached survey. The collected data were entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed. Results: In the questionnaire all respondents answered that they have organized physical activity and that everyone is excercising. Also, most respondents answered that after exercise they feel more active, have a better appetite, they sleep better and exercise helps them to socialize. Most of the participants are exercising with the music which they think has a positively affects on them. At last, most of the participants have more energy after exercise and expressed the desire for more exercise. Conclusion: We can determine that elderly people who exercise regularly notice that after exercise they feel more active and energetic have a better appetite and that they sleep better. If they excercise with the music they feel that music has a positive impact on them and exercise itself has a positive impact on their social life. We consider that given the positive effect of exercise it should be carried out in larger scale and that the number of physical activities adequate to the elderly should be increased.
