osszefoglalas: Regi uj igazsag, hogy a fizikai aktivitas egeszseges, amit evezredek tapasztalatai es modern kutatasok bizonyitanak. Ez azert aktualis hazankban, mert a magyar lakossagra jellemző, hogy keveset mozog, es ez az egyik oka, hogy magas az elhizottak es tulsulyosak aranya. A kutatas celja volt egyreszt vizsgalni a szenior versenyuszas, mint fizikai aktivitas hatasat a testosszetetelre es eletminősegre, masreszt a taplalkozasi szokasok felmerese. A felmeresben reszt vett szenior versenyuszok (n = 93) testzsir % es vazizomtomeg ertekei jobbak voltak a referenciaertekekhez kepest. A felmert csoport eletminősege is kedvező ertekeket mutatott a magyar lakossag atlagertekeihez kepest minden korcsoportban. A taplalkozasuk nagyobb aranyban felelt meg az ajanlottnak, am emellett is sok hianyossag volt kimutathato. Kovetkezteteskeppen a szakirodalmi adatok es a felmeres alapjan elmondhato, hogy a szenior versenyuszas pozitiv hatassal lehet a testosszetetelre es eletminősegre. Emellett az eletmod masik fontos tenyezője a helyes taplalkozas tudatositasa fontos elem lehetne az egeszsegfejlesztes reszekent. is not a new statement that physical activity has a positive effect on health which is proved by experiences of centuries and modern researches. It is always relevant because Hungarian population has an inadequate level of physical activity what is one of the several reasons that the prevalence of obesity is high. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Masters swimming on body composition and quality of life and to analyze nutrition. The data showed that masters swimmers (n = 93) have better body fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass values compared to the reference values. The quality of life scores were as well better compared to the average scores of the Hungarian population. The nutrition of the Masters swimmers was adequate in higher proportion than non-adequate compared to the nutritional recommendations but there was a considerable amount of inadequacies. In conclusion, according to the data of scientific literature and this study, masters swimming can have a positive effect on body composition and quality of life. Besides, to promote health it is recommended to improve nutrition which an important life style factor.
