摘要:The study examined the views of 76 elderly women, from
different geographic areas in Greece. The participants were
living in either urban (46.1%) or suburban/rural (53.9%) areas.
Data was obtained through a survey questionnaire which
included demographic questions at the beginning followed by
a section regarding the quantity as well as the quality of the
programs undertaken by the participants. In addition, the participants
indicated the reasons for participation into the
.Sports for All. programs. The most important reasons for
the elderly women to participate were to have a good time,
improve their mood, health and physical conditioning. Elderly
women were satisfied with the content and the organization
of the programs. Despite however their ongoing participation
and satisfaction from the programs, they appeared unhappy
with the equipment used. Further, urban participants differed
in attendance, satisfaction and reasons of participation compared
to their suburban/ rural counterparts. .Sports for All.
programs for elderly people in Greece require constant assessment
and feedback from the participants, in order to be
designed and organized more efficiently.
