Opis (eng)

Abstract: Based on previous research, the aim of this systematic review research was to determine which barriers to physical activity occur in the elderly. For collecting literature, the following data bases were searched: Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science and Research Gate, using all available papers in the period from 2002 to 2017. A descriptive method was used to analyse the obtained data, and all the titles and abstracts were reviewed for potential papers that were included in this systematic review research. A total of 20 studies met the predefined criteria and were included in the quantitative analysis. The results were obtained after analysing the questionnaires that the responders filled in to evaluate the barriers. This systematic review research shows that there are still a large number of barriers that occur in the elderly. The health condition, lack of time and fear of injury are not the only barriers, but there are also a large number of barriers that prevent the practice of PA. Some of these barriers can be affected and the attitude towards them can be changed, improving the conditions in which elderly people can practice PA, such as transport, the environment, the lack of training facilities, and the lack of professional assistance.
