Abstract

This study drew the following conclusions on the analysis of the physical fitness status of the elderly group using data from the National Sports Survey. In the perception of the physical fitness of the elderly group itself, the average was the highest at 45.2% of the total. Regular sports activities were the highest as an important point to maintain physical fitness. In the frequency of participating in regular sports activities over the past year, the proportion of the elderly (33.5%) who do not do it at all was the highest.BR The results of the decision tree analysis on the subjective physical fitness state are as follows. Looking at the overall physical f itness s tatus due to demographic characteristics, 60.9% of them h ad a negative physical fitness status. For the group with an average monthly household income of less than 1.85 million won, the negative rate was 80.3%, which was higher than the whole. On the other hand, the average monthly household income exceeded 1.85 million won, and the negative rate of the group with jobs was 34.0%, which was lower than that of the whole. In the analysis of physical fitness according to physical fitness factors, the negative rate of the group with positive performance of “regular meals and nutrition supplementation” and “regular sports activities” to maintain physical strength was 23.5%, which was lower than that of the whole. Therefore, life sports programs, including health education, are needed to maintain and improve physical strength, and financial support is required for exercise programs that anyone can participate in.
