Abstract
This study aimed to improve the well-being and quality of life for senior citizens in Buenavista, Guimaras, by assessing their physical fitness and identifying factors influencing their attitudes toward exercise. Utilizing a survey correlational research design, data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire from all senior citizens in the Municipality of Buenavista, totaling 7,178 individuals. A representative sample of 380 respondents was selected using stratified random sampling and Slovin’s formula. The findings revealed a diverse demographic profile among senior citizens, encompassing various age groups and civil statuses, underscoring the importance of considering these factors in designing tailored intervention programs. Overall, the senior citizens in the community exhibited a positive attitude toward physical fitness, recognizing its significance for health and well-being. While no significant differences based on sex or age were observed, civil status emerged as a significant influencer, emphasizing the need to customize programs for different civil status groups among senior citizens. These insights provide a valuable foundation for the development of effective and targeted fitness initiatives aimed at enhancing the overall well-being of this aging population.
