The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of physical activity among former sailors after their sports careers, and to determine if there are differences in activity between men and women. The study involved 26 former sailors (M-16, F-10), with an average age of 33.04 years and an average career length of 14.65 years. Participants completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) for self-assessment of physical activity during the last 7 days, which includes questions from 4 categories: vigorous activities, moderate physical activities, walking, and sitting. Gender differences were analyzed using independent samples t-test. In this sample, participants were shown to be moderately to highly active individuals, and above the average of recommended weekly physical activity (WHO). Men spend more time in vigorous physical activities, while women engage more in moderate physical activity; however, there is no difference in the weekly volume of activity. A possible limitation of the study is the small number of participants, but considering the specific nature of the sample, which is inherently limited, it can be concluded that engaging in sailing produces visibly better lifestyle habits, and individuals who have sailed are likely to be more physically active in later stages of life.
