Research suggest that these factors can be successfully influenced by the physical and mental interventions. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, purpose, type and correlations of psychophysical activities offered by the Daily Center of Activity (DCA) Puhova and Center of Activity Fužine (CAF) alongside differences between them. Data was collected with questionnaires and interviews, in which we included 37 elderly people who regularly attend activities at Daily centers. The results showed that the main reason for attending activities is for the majority of subjects maintaining or improving health. In their view, physical activity positively affect the preservation of general physical condition, acts as agent against diseases associated with aging, reduces the pain associated with chronic injuries and contribute to improving overall self-sufficiency. For them the cognitive activities present means for strengthening the brain functions which is expressed with good cognitive function. Part of daily cognitive tasks are also carried outside of centers with homework assignments from educational workshops. The elderly population are in both types of activities influenced with greater socialization, which is associated with creating and maintaining friendships. Regular physical activity and educational workshops in daily centers of activities are great investment for a healthy ageingStaranje samo po sebi prinaša spremembe v telesno motoričnih, mentalnih sposobnostih in psihosocialnih dejavnikih. Raziskave kažejo, da se na te dejavnike lahko uspešno vpliva s telesno in mentalno vadbo. Namen raziskovalne naloge je bilo ugotoviti pogostost, namen, vrsto in povezanost psihofizičnih aktivnosti, ki jih ponujata Dnevni center aktivnosti (DCA) Puhova in Center aktivnosti Fužine (CAF), ter razlike med njima. Podatke smo pridobili s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika in intervjujev, v katere smo vključili 37 starejših oseb, ki obiskujejo aktivnosti v dnevnih centrih. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da je glavni razlog obiskovanja centrov aktivnosti za večino preiskovancev ohranjanje ali izboljšanje zdravja. Po njihovem mnenju telesne aktivnosti pozitivno vplivajo na ohranjanje splošne telesne pripravljenosti, delujejo kot sredstvo proti boleznim staranja, zmanjšanju bolečin pri kroničnih poškodbah in prispevajo k boljši splošni opravilnosti. Kognitivne dejavnosti za njih predstavljajo sredstvo za krepitev možganov, saj ohranjajo hitre, čiste misli, predvsem pa preiskovanci več razmišljajo tudi na dejavnostih izven centrov aktivnosti. Obe vrsti aktivnosti pa vplivata na večje druženje starejših oseb in ustvarjanje ter ohranjanje prijateljskih vezi. Centri aktivnosti so za starostnike odlična naložba za zdravo in polno starostTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za šport
