The article presents partial results which reflect seniors’ lifestyle and which are focused on selected determinants (especially sports activities). These determinants are the key factors of the quality of seniors’ life. The respondents of our research were the retirees from the town of Liptovsky Mikulás. We used a questionnaire to obtain the primary indicators of quality of life and lifestyle of seniors. Our findings significantly show that exercise and sports activities play an important role in terms of maintaining social contacts, health and independence, the values that are particularly specific for life of seniors from different points of view. The article is a part of the grant research task VEGA no. 1/0376/14 Physical activity intervention for the prevention of health of the population of Slovakia.
