Material and Methods: The research was conducted in 221 people aged 60-90 years. A diagnostic survey was used as the research method.

Results: No significant variation of the degree of realization of health needs with regards to sex and place of living was found. However, there were significant variations due to such factors as education and the degree of realization of one’s active disability needs and motor recreation; age and realization of the preventive need; the self-estimation of one`s health state and realization of a pro-family, preventive, mobility, tourist activity, motor and medical recreation, and a rehabilitation need; previous participation in physical activities and the need of mobility, anti-involution and prevention; intensity of a physical effort within professional duties and a pro-family, active disability, motor and functional recreation need. Conclusions: Among the determinants diversifying health needs of the tested seniors realized through their physical activities, one may include education, age, health state, previous participation in physical activities, as well as the occupation the intensity of effort it involves. Within none of the analyzed needs, there was found a significant variation with regard to the respondents’ sex or place of living.
