Abstract

Starije osobe se ne bave fizičkom aktivnošću dovoljno prema zdravstvenim smjernicama za starije osobe. S obzirom na raznovrsnost oblika fizičke aktivnosti, u ovom radu fokus je na plesu kao jednom od oblika fizičke aktivnosti. Cilj istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u neke aspekte sudjelovanja u plesnim aktivnostima iz perspektive starijih osoba koje sudjeluju u plesnim aktivnostima u okviru plesnih skupina starijih osoba. U istraživanju su sudjelovali članovi jedne plesne skupine starijih osoba u gradu Zagrebu, od kojih je njih 12 odabrano prigodnim uzorkom i intervjuirano u okviru metode polustrukturiranog intervjua. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako starije osobe kao iskustva sudjelovanja u plesnim aktivnostima navode motivaciju za uključivanje u plesnu skupinu, organizaciju plesnih aktivnosti, karakteristike i odnose članova plesne skupine, teškoće vezane uz sudjelovanje u plesnim aktivnostima, važnost voditelja plesne skupine u iskustvu sudjelovanja u plesnim aktivnostima, reakcije okoline, važnost sudjelovanja u plesnim aktivnostima u svakodnevnom životu i aspekte života kao metaforu sudjelovanja u plesnim aktivnostima. Uloga sudjelovanja u plesnim aktivnostima u životu starijih osoba je sudjelovanje u plesnim aktivnostima kao odrednica fizičkog i psihičkog zdravlja, očuvanja kognitivnih funkcija, društvenog života i ispunjenja slobodnog vremena. Može se zaključiti kako ples ima važnu ulogu u životu starijih osoba koje sudjeluju u navedenim aktivnostima te ima doprinos različitim aspektima njihovog života.

Abstract (english)

Older people don’t practice physical activity sufficiently according to health guidelines. Given the variety of forms of physical activity, this paper focuses on participating in dance activities as one of the forms of physical activity. The aim of this research was to gain insight into some aspects of participation in dance activities from the perspective of older people participating in dance activities within the dance groups of older people. It included members of a dance group of older people in Zagreb, of whom 12 were selected using convenience sampling and interviewed within the method of semi-structured interview. The research results show that older people have experienced motivation to engage in a dance group, organization of dance activities, dance group characteristics, group members' relationships, difficulties in participating in dance activities, importance of dance group leader in the experience of participating in dance activities, environmental reactions to participation in dance activities, importance of participating in dance activities in everyday life and aspects of life as a metaphor for participating in dance activities. The role of participation in dance activities in life of older people is participation in dance activities as determinant of physical health, mental health, preservation of cognitive functions, social life and fulfillment of free time. It can be concluded that dance plays an important role in life of older people participating in mentioned activities and contributes to the different aspects of their life.
