ABSTRACT Objective: To explore the influence of leisure sports tourism activities on the health of elderly tourists. Methods: Through investigating the leisure sports tourism activities of some elderly tourists who participated in travel agencies, the health status and quality of life of elderly tourists who participated in leisure sports tourism activities for a long time (exercising group) were compared with those who did not or occasionally participated in physical exercise (non-exercising group), to understand the influence of leisure sports tourism activities on the health of elderly tourists. Results: Regarding the attitude of participating in sports leisure tourism activities, the survey results show that the elderly tourists reached a basic consensus about participating in sports leisure tourism activities. Different types of landscapes have significant differences in improving tourists’ anxiety. The proportion of “very satisfied” in the exercise group was significantly higher than that in the non-exercise group. The duration of the trip has a significant impact on improving tourists’ anxiety. Conclusion: We should strengthen the advertising of leisure sport tourism activities, let more elderly tourists participate in leisure sport tourism activities, strengthen the behavioral guidance of elderly tourists in leisure sport tourism activities, and help them improve their health. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
