Abstract: | The article provides an overview of the results of cross-sectional and longitudinal data sets concerning sport participation
of the elderly in Germany with a focus on correlations of sport participation with gender, age, and social class. A tabular
overview lists the most central studies with their study design and publications from 2000 onwards. Findings regarding the
motivations for sport participation of the elderly, the types of sport which are done, and the preferred settings are summarized.
Eventually a conclusion is given about “what we know and what we don’t know.” |
