Description | Psychosocial conditions of Masters’ athletes were clarified who participated in sports competitions. Subjects are 97 male participants (63.9±11.5 years old) for International Gold Masters in Kyoto 2013、Japan. Their average career was 15.2±11.1 years. Questionnaires were distributed and they were asked to fill in during the day. The survey included basic attributes, life satisfaction, and how to spend leisure time. Methods included the comparison for non-elderly (<64), early elderly (65-74), and elderly (75< years) groups. As a result, life satisfaction was generally good, and leisure time was mainly for exercise/sports and other social activities. These results suggest that participating Masters Sports would lead to social activities and improve their QOL.
