OLIVOVÁ, Leona
This thesis deals with today's trends in aging, health and physical activity. It deals with aging, its manifestation and impact ond human organism, especially considering senior population. The aim of this work is to stress out the importance of activity and of changing of habits of seniors. This work also wants to compare the activities of seniors in their home and in institutional housing in Eastern-Bohemian region. The data was aquired by quatitative research methods, by questioning. Data was collected using questionairy, by controlled interview; it was made for people over 70 years old, living in home and in retirement homes. Basic set was made from seniors (men and women) living in Eastern-Bohemian region. The sets were 100 randomly picked seniors from retirement homes and 100 randomly picked seniors living in home environment. The hypothesis, that was successfully confirmed is stated thus: Seniors are more active in their home environment. Senior living in their home were more active in sports (biking, hiking, walks, swimming) as well as in things concerning house-keeping (heating, cooking, doing the washing). They were more in touch with their family members and did activities with them. Altogether, these seniors were happier. Care for domestic animals also helps with their psyche. Seniors living in retirement homes showed great interest in RHB excercises and free-time activities conducted by the facility. As for the activity itself, retirement home seniors showed a lot less activity. This fact is due to their lifestyle in the retirement home and due to their health. By this work, I would like to address the distinction between these two groups of senior people, not only regarding activity.
