Abstract
A college education offers many obvious advantages to those who choose to pursue education beyond high school, but there are many unexplored benefits as well. The purpose of this study was to explore how the physical activity level of the elderly might be related to the educational level of the elderly. A person who is better educated would likely have more resources available to them, potentially resulting in a more active lifestyle. Age and educational level were the predictors used. In the sample (N'42) age was not found to be a predictor of activity level; however, educational level was found to be a significant predictor.
