Active life style (ALS) it is a form of life style (LS), that we understand like an interaction between individual and environment. This interaction in basic simplification has the two parts – biological and social. It is influent by physical, mental and social activity and behaviour. The LS formed the personality development, competence maintenance, performance and identity. It is determined by both internal (e.g. age, sex, health) and external conditions that reflect cultural traditions, social, economical, situation in the society etc. ALS is considered to be such LS where adequate regular physical activity has its place too. Physical is not considered only like a biological process but is also based on bio-psychosocial principle of the existence and functioning of the human. The problem is presented on the example of women seniors. The decisive factor that may influent the senior´s life quality there are the changes evoked by aging, mainly the changes that may influent the actual state of subject. From the biological variables seems to be a limited factor the changes of body mass, free fat mass and from this going out the altered abilities to realise the muscle work. This changes influent significantly the predispositions of senior´s organism for activity realisation that were realised regularly in middle age. In this study we verify the possibility to assess the ALS predispositions in seniors by help of selected body composition variables. The decisive variables that were assessed were parts of molecular model of body composition – coefficient of ECM/BCM and in the same hmotnost tukuprostá hmota %tuku 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 věk (roky) hmotnost, TPH (kg) %tuku (%) assess the biological age influence possibility by movement program that was imposed during one year. Physical fitness and realised physical performance was significantly increased in active senior women. From the long lasting evaluation follows that were delayed the physiological changes connected with aging. If we assess the biological age according to body composition variables and physical performance the minimal differences of 4 years between chronological and biological age was found.
