Abstract
The objective of our research work is to analyze what the old ones of masculine sex make in their free time and groups of Third Age or Associations of Pensioners have been inserted in. The subjects of our search are eight old men of sixty to ninety years, users of the Maria Olinda de Castro Place, located in the district of Vila Progresso, in the city of Sorocaba. We used the qualitative investigation methodology by this to have a multidimensional character and to place the investigator in direct bonding with the investigated customer. The data collect was made by using eight semi-structured interviews, with average duration of 30 minutes each one. Also data through photos were collected. The results were divided in five categories: age, civil state, participants or not of Groups of Third Age or Associations of Pensioners, have or not freetime and whatever to desires of those old ones.
We could verify that the old ones make partner-recreational activities, with stress reduction, increase of the personal satisfaction and a ampler social interaction where sharing it is seen like something very important. Therefore, we can consider that those old ones are socialized, exerting an active paper in the community and society.
