Abstract     The authors analyse the significance and risks ofphysical activity in the prevention and treatment of degenerative diseases of the circulatory system in the adult and elderly. The authors assessed the actual physical activity of 1661 inhabitants of Ljubljana and the presence of risk factors or the already existing pathology. The authors are critical of the high percentage of temporary active people with the above mentioned pathology because such activity is not efficient in the health sense, and can even present a risk. The significance of regular physical activity is stressed. Only such an activity is preventive in the health sense. Closer cooperation between medical and sports profession is stressed.
