Diseño e implementación de una propuesta recreativa para mejorar la calidad de vida del adulto mayor entre 60 y 70 años de la Asociación Los años dorados de Villa del Rosario.

Abstract

The following monographic work explains in detail the design and implementation of a recreational proposal that was carried out with adults over 60- and 70-years old belonging to the Association My Golden Years located in the La palmita neighborhood of the Municipality of Villa del Rosario in Norte de Santander. In the development of this work, a search was initially carried out for theoretical references that would help to understand the characteristics of older adulthood, with their respective physical and psychological changes, to later establish the bases of a recreational proposal that would help improve quality life of these individuals. In this way, a proposal was designed that was implemented in 2 stages: a diagnostic stage accompanied by an evaluation battery (SFT) to assess the physical condition of this population, and a practical stage to carry out the recreational proposal developed in 24 meetings. From this work, it was possible to compile theoretical foundations aimed at explaining the issue of older adulthood and the correct way for the applicability of a recreation proposal, aimed at promoting healthy lifestyle habits that improve their physical and psychological condition.
