Engagement in organized forms of physical activity in the Istria County

The aim of the present research is to analyse the existing activities and resources oriented toward the promotion of physical activity, and to establish the number of active participants in organisations which conduct organised forms of physical activities. The questionnaires were filled out by each club/association’s representatives. The questionnaire included the participants’ demographic data (sex and age), data about the club/association (title, part of sports, recreational, medical or school sports activities, sports branch or discipline), and the city or municipality they are affiliated with. This research results show that with regard to both sexes, most of the participants engaged in organized forms of physical activity are aged 10- 19, while from the age of 20 the physically active population gradually diminishes up to an older age. Organised physical activities for which there is great interest in the Istria County are martial arts, football and medical gymnastics.
