Este estudio responde a una necesidad social y al interés de profesionales de la actividad físico-deportiva por conocer la situación y condiciones sociales y familiares en la que viven los adultos mayores de 60 años del municipio de Tapachula Chiapas, México. Encontramos que en nuestro país (México) existen pocas investigaciones empíricas que aborden y describan las características y condiciones morfofuncionales y psicológicas de los sujetos de la tercera edad. En esta investigación se aportan datos sobre la situación sociodemográfica: estado civil, actividad laboral, nivel de estudios y condiciones económica, así como comportamientos, factores y correlatos ante la práctica físico-deportiva en tres momentos de la vida: etapa de dependencia familiar (desde la niñez hasta la formación de familia propia), etapa de independencia familiar (desde el matrimonio hasta que cumple los 59 años) y etapa de adulto mayor (mayor de 60 años), lo que nos permitió analizar la evolució n de los comportamientos de esta población.En concreto, se han recogido datos sobre lo que realizan práctica físico-deportiva, los que han abandonado y los que nunca han practicado actividades físico-deportivas, así como los motivos por los que tienen estos comportamientos y la autopercepción que poseen de su práctica física, su condición física y su salud.Como conclusión se puede afirmar que nuestra población tiene un alto nivel de analfabetismo, causado por un estancamiento de casi medio siglo, que los hábitos y los comportamientos han permanecido inamovibles, probablemente por la incipiente formación inicial del profesor de Educación Física que tiene un papel determinante en la formación de hábitos, llevando a esta población a tener muy baja tasa de practicantes de actividades físico-deportivas de tiempo libre y con algunos problemas de salud. Los mo-tivos de práctica se modifican con el paso de los años, en la etapa de la juventud se relacionan con los motivos intrínsecos. Sin embargo, en la etapa de adulto mayor de 60 años se vinculan, principalmente, con motivos extrínsecos relacionándose fuertemente con el sexo, nivel de estudios y situación económica. Pero el abandono y la total inactividad física se ligan con los motivos intrínsecos, como la salud y la enfermedad. / This study responds to a social necessity and to the interest of professionals of the physical-sport activity to know the social and familiar situation and conditions in which the adults live majors on 60 years of the municipality of Tapachula Chiapas, Mexico. We find that in our country (Mexico) few empirical investigations exist that approach and describe to the characteristics and morfofunctional and psychological conditions of the subjects of the third age. In this investigation data are contributed on the sociodemographic situation: civil state, economic labor activity, level of studies and conditions, as well as behaviors, factors and correlates before the physical-sport practice at three moments of the life: stage of familiar dependency (from the childhood to the formation of own family), stage of familiar independence (from the marriage until it turns the 59 years) and stage of greater adult (greater of 60 years), which allowed us to analyze the evolution of the behaviors of this population. In particular, data have taken shelter exceeds what they realize physical-sport practice, those that have left and those that never have practiced physical-sport activities, as well as the reasons by which have these behaviors and the self perception that they own of his physical practice, his physical training conditions and its health. As conclusion can be affirmed that our population almost half has a high level of illiteracy, caused by a stagnation of century, that the habits and the behaviors remained unremovable, probably by the incipient initial formation of the professor of Physical education that has a determining paper in the formation of habits, taking to this population to have very low rate of medical instructors of physical-sport activities of free time and with some problems of health. The reasons for practice modify with the passage of the years, in the stage of youth are related to the intrinsic reasons. Nevertheless, in the stage of greater adult of 60 years they tie, mainly, with extrinsic reasons being related strongly to sex, level of studies and economic situation. But the abandonment and the total physical inactivity league together with the intrinsic reasons, like the health and the disease.
