The main of the research is to know what are the factors that consider the most physically active people that most influence the quality of life. The results conclude that the components that most influence the quality of life are related to health, relationships, functional autonomy and remain active as the main factors influencing the quality of life of the most active in the economy, pension, housing or income.
