ACTIVE LIFESTYLE AND ITS IMPACT ON THE PERSONALITY OF PEOPLE OVER 60 YEARS OLD

The objective of the thesis was to record the effect of lifestyle associated with regular physical activity carried out within a social atmosphere in relation to personality factors according to NEO FFI, as a presumption of active living during mature old age. The ability to move in the lives of seniors is extremely important for self-sufficiency and to maintain social contacts. Lack of mobility makes it impossible to cope with the social life in general. Active seniors thanks to active motion have higher self-esteem; better manage health problems, but also social problems associated with old age. The study suggests that seniors, who regularly carry out any physical activity in a social context, have a higher tendency to actively participate in your present life in comparison with other groups of seniors.
