Abstract

This work in the sports field is nothing more than the constancy of the day to day where a series of activities will be developed with each of the social groups, through training such as workshops, forums, congresses, standards and commitment. Physical activities is a dimension of life whose importance is increasingly recognized, especially in a world where new spaces are necessary for the experience of meanings associated with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual fulfillment. In this sense, recreation and physical activities are necessary at all ages of the human being and especially in older adults, which is a stage that requires comprehensive and multidisciplinary care. It is here where lifestyles at this stage of adulthood benefit in favor of health with active and conscious participation in activities that guarantee recreation, enjoyment, values and communication; but all this is possible if these activities respond to their interests and satisfy their needs. Methodological aspects are presented with which the research was carried out, which allowed to achieve the purpose set for it, some elements that served and specified the development of it were taken into account. The research is presented under an interpretive paradigm and the ethnographic approach. They are tools that allowed collecting pertinent information that made it possible to consolidate the investigation despite some situations presented. The comprehensive perspective of this paradigm proposes understanding, meaning and action, trying to enunciate human actions, elaborating representative descriptions of situations, contexts and actions. All development of an investigation constitutes a motivating challenge that allows identifying the situation from the different points of view, conditions and aptitudes staged that is achieved with the development of physical-recreational activities.
