It is known nowadays that sport maintains and improves (physical and mental) health and prolongs life expectancy, a fact mentioned by both those who practice sport in its various forms, and by specialists in physiology, medicine, sociology or sports psychology. Objectives. The objective of the present study is to raise awareness of the fact that our life style (including physical activities and recreation through sport) has a major impact - if not an overwhelming one – on our health and on the prolongation of life expectancy. Methods. Studies have been carried out on a representative sample of retirees from Transylvania, which have attempted to highlight how the subjects relate to the period of retirement and the marginal place that sports occupy as a way of spending free time in the universe of the preferences of the retirees that have been interviewed. Results. The relationship between the overall quality of life of the people and the ways of spending their free time (even by practicing physical exercises and maintenance sports), respectively the practice of performance sports, is obvious: the high percentage of people who practice sport among the total population is itself an indicator of a developed society. Conclusions. The elderly in the Transylvanian urban area appreciate their subjective wellbeing as positive and mention as their main needs: maintaining their mental activity, their utility as persons and their relationships.
Keywords: quality of life, sport, leisure activities, pensioners.
