The theme Life Quality, for its encompassing and importance in the current world, has been object of many studies ~md researches.

The main questioning was how the practice of physical activities influences the subjective evaluation of the personal Life Quality. For that, we used a subjective evaluation tool from the World Health Organization ? the WHOQOL-bref, which has 26 questions and an additional too1. Comparing the two groups - actives and non-actives physically - we obtained significant results, showing that the physical activity really influences the subjective evaluation ofthe individual Life Quality in elderly people, that is, active elderly perceive their Life Quality as being better
