| Shrnutí: | Progressive population aging and life expectancy increase in Spain, resulting from
medical and social improvements, have put this population segment in a privileged position
for the implementation of new methodologies aimed at improving the quality of life of the elderly.
Social life cycle analysis (S-LCA) is a widely studied technique to evaluate the social and environmental
impacts generated by a product, service, or process. Throughout this paper, S-LCA is applied to
the implementation of physical activity programs in routines for older people, allowing a complete
evaluation of the impact of such activities. From this study, it is deduced that the execution phase
of the program is the one that causes the most positive impact. Design and programming have a
much more notable impact than expected. With regard to the involved categories, the user is the
greatest beneficiary of the implementation of these programs, although the local community and
administration are other interest groups that will highly benefit, although the impact will be much
less than in the case of users. |
