Abstract

Sports and recreational programs are an important segment of a healthy lifestyle with which health and work abilities can be prevented and improved. Regular and systematic practice of various sports and recreational programs enables a positive impact on several dimensions of quality of life such as physical, psychological, social, economic and spiritual wellness. This research was conducted in sports and recreational clubs using the survey method. The aim of the research was to assess satisfaction with the quality of performed recreational programs. On a sample of 328 respondents (M = 142; F = 186), aged 30 to +60 years, a questionnaire was used to assess the elements of program quality, and the obtained data were processed by descriptive and comparative statistics. The obtained results show that all seven elements of quality assessment of used sports and recreational programs have high average grades (above four), and among them with a zone of high intensity is the element “Total feeling of satisfaction after the program” (4,65) and the element “ Group atmosphere during the implementation of the program “(4,56). The results of the analysis of variance showed that women show significantly more intense expression of satisfaction resulting from participation in sports and recreational programs, and the evaluation of the program is most intensively assessed by respondents aged 30-40 (4,52).
