Abstract

Sports and throw related games can be used as a main content to improve physical fitness, diverse body parameters and therefore a better quality of life. The sample of the present paper includes 43 female participants of the program of Physical Activities for the Elderly of the Diputación Provincial de Málaga, aged 60-79 years old (66.4+5.3), who are natives of three small populations of the Sierra de las Nieves (Málaga). The participants were measured in weight and height to calculate the body mass index BMI. In addition, questionnaire SF-36 was used to measure the quality of life related to health (Alonso et al., 1995). The results of the present study show inverse correlations between body mass index and some dimensions of the SF-36 questionnaire.
