Abstract
The aim is to determine the ratio of low physical activity (PA) to a high sedentary behavior (SB) and to change it in the experiment. Methods and organization of the research. We carried out descriptive (n = 425) and cross-sectional (n = 36) experiments using the IPAQ-RU questionnaire for a random group of elderly people in Surgut. Research results. The research revealed that the proportion of inactive elderly people was 36% among men, 48% among women. The proportion of moderately active women was 29%, men – 55%. The duration of the SB was 6-12 hours per day. Conclusion. Optimization of the PA and SB ratio provided a moderately intense PA (140-150 minutes) in elderly women and a decrease in SB time from 6.0 to 3.8 hours per day due to Nordic walking.
