“…The study Revista Lusófona de Educação of Cheung et al (2009) with a sample of 65 years, or more, elders showed that high levels of participation in social and cognitive activities have an association with a higher quality of life (particular focus on physical and mental functioning, mental health and physical function). Glass et al (1999) presented that both, participation in social activities and productive activities, are related with a low risk of mortality in aged population (Belo, Pocinho, & Navarro-Pardo, 2016).

“…Seems crucial and of high relevance the study of ageing as a specific stage of life cycle. For Belo, Pocinho and Navarro-Pardo (2016) this implicates an active and continuous balance enduring its impressiveness in the interaction between maturation, learning and senescence. A new idea about ageing emerged and a new design reflects the positive aspects of the third age, where is possible to explore the potential of actions and quality of life.…”

Increased human longevity has been attributed to technological and medical advances, as well as improved hygiene and nutritional conditions, access to health care, changes in eating habits and cognitive development strategies (Osório, 2007). The present study examined the influence of leisure actions in the psychological well-being, leisure attitude and distress of seniors. The sample consisted of 403 participants (37,2% male; 62,8% female). Concerning the perception of health condition, 82,6% subjects were considered independent and 17,4% participants were considered dependent. The instruments used were the MHI (Ribeiro, 2001) and the LAS (Freire & Fonte, 2007). Main results exposed that participants in leisure activities presented high level of well-being and attitude for leisure (p<0,05). Seniors that present big levels of distress indicated an intention to participate in activities of leisure that aided to decrease that symptom. Results showed that seniors health perception influenced the practice of a leisure activity [Hotelling's Trace = 0,077; F (3; 341) = 8,733; p = 0,00]. The results found helped to recognize the necessity, and importance, of leisure activities between seniors.
