摘要：

There is a need to learn more about healthy lifestyle of older adults. Purpose: The main aim of this thesis is to describe the physical culture and retirement of seniors. Methods: The focus of this research was on older adults who are retired and living in Georgia (USA), Czech Republic, and Croatia. This interpretive paradigm incorporated various research methods in order to collect the data. Participant observations, questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups were all utilized to ascertain the findings of this study. Results: As a result of this study we found a growing number of older adults who have rejected previous notions of aging and are incorporating physical culture as a healthy lifestyle. Conclusion: Social dance, walking, and exercise class are several ways that seniors have chosen to pursue physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.
