Emotional Response in the Elderly to Sports Materials

Abstract

This research aims to understand the effectiveness of the material resources used by 365 elderly people who perform physical activities in Seville (Spain), based on the sensations that the use of these objects gave them. A descriptive design was used through a questionnaire validated by the Delphi method with 10 pre-selected experts. The results showed the existence of significant relationships between the emotions generated in the elderly and the handling of different materials. This is essential for the planning of physical activities for this type of user in order to achieve greater motivation and continuity.
