Abstract
The presented study is a result of the qualitative research with the aim to reveal the impact of organized physical activities with a recreational character on the quality of life improvement in older adult women in Slovakia. Participants of the research, were students at the University of the Third Age. Using the semi-structured interviews, we identified subjective meanings that the older adult women, engaged in the education process, ascribed to organized physical activities in relation to the quality of their own lives, from the perspective of adult education. Besides the analysis of problems associated with the education process itself, conclusion also contains proposals pertaining to direction of an education process of organized physical activities of older adults in Slovakia and hence improve the quality of their lives.
