Data are analyzed with SPSS (ver. 12.0) program, t-test and one-way ANOVA were conducted to analyze the participation in sport programs by the old women according to demographical characteristics, regressive analysis was performed to examine the influences of participation in sport programs on activation of sports for all and then the following conclusions were obtained. 1.

According to the influence of sport programs on its activation factors, such variables as advertisement, participation, hours, items and companions have more influences on participation in sport activities than other variables, and such variables as advertisement, companions, motive, hours, participation and items have more beneficiary effects on after participation than other variables, and variables such as companion, item and continuity have more influences on reasons of disability on other variables. As a result of this study to seek the methods of sports for the aged, especially the old women who lead their home, spend most of time in doing houseworks and child care and are passive in social activities, it was found that although this study was confined to a region, physical activities of the aged contained several disability factors and were very passive. Korea has a great burden of the aged problems nationally or socially because it is already in aging society. The aged who have difficulty in behavior and cannot do physical activity outside are engaged in passive activities like watching TV at home and in particular the old women who support their husband and children had low satisfaction with their life and they are considered as disadvantaged class in our society. Although they are doing physical activities, they feel satisfaction with such activity itself and don't want to perform more activities. As a result of this study, there were limitations in sport items in which the old women can take part and there were seldom coaches who have professional knowledge and techniques. In addition, instruments and articles necessary for sport programs were extremely insufficient due to the lack of economic support and place of sport was poor and lacking, which prevented its advancement. First the attitude and mind of the aged who participate in sport programs are important. Accordingly, the old people's problems should be settled from social aspect and their surroundings, sport programs should be developed and distributed with better conditions and national and economic supports should be followed for them to take part in sport programs with affirmative and active attitudes. As the aging society begins, the old population will be increasing and more serious social issue and it will be also the issues to be handled by nation, organization, the aged themselves and their family and should be recognized as the issue of national dimension.
