The article analyzes the results of questionnaire survey of elderly men in the monitoring of physical activity of different population groups. It was revealed that the most important motivational preferences for physical activity of men of this age were the strengthening of their health and self-improvement. Furthermore, a reliable correlation between interest in gaining social ties, new acquaintances and involvement in physical exercise and sports was revealed in the group of elderly men, which allows considering the possibility of socialization and new friendships as an effective motive for physical activity and sports activity of the elderly.
