Resumen
En este estudio se presentará una investigación realizada a los adultos mayores de la
comuna de El Monte de la Región Metropolitana, debido a un número muy insuficiente
de adultos mayores de género masculino, las personas encuestadas en su mayoría son
personas de género femenino que realizaron actividad física dentro de alguna
organización o entidad de manera permanente durante el año 2011. Debido al reducido
número de adultos mayores que realiza actividad física de manera regular en los
diferentes talleres, se implementó la encuesta a todo el universo de El Monte.
Para este estudio fue necesario dar a conocer temas relacionados con el deporte,
actividad física y ejercicio físico con sus respectivas diferencias, optando por un autor
que se relaciona más con este estudio. Además de informar sobre el ciclo de vida donde
se profundiza el periodo del adulto mayor, quienes son el foco de la investigación. Junto
con ello, presentar los beneficios de la actividad física regular y efectos que produce en
el organismo de los adultos mayores. Por último fue necesario establecer las
recomendaciones mundiales de la actividad física para este grupo etario. El instrumento
que se utilizó fue una encuesta, la cual se aplicó a los adultos mayores para conocer los
factores que determinan la participación para realizar actividad física, también
identificar los tipos de ejercicios que prefieren para realizar actividad física. Para ello
fue necesario determinar los lugares, número y edad de los participantes, además de los
materiales preferentes de los encuestados.
