The contribution presents the relationship between the frequency of physical activity during the week and fields of life quality of kindergarden teachers in three mature parts. In the research took part kindergarden teachers from Slovakia (n = 211) who were divided into groups according to their ontogenesis. The life quality was observed with a modified questionnaire SQUALA and the physical activity level frequency during the week. The data is presented by descriptive characteristics (n, M, SD) and statistic importance of differences, let us say relationships which are measured by non-parametric methods (W, U, rs), by the importance level (p<0.05; p<0.10). The results showed the most numerous correlations between the physical activity during the week and fields of life quality of teachers in age group from 36-46 years (middle mature) who do the physical activity M: 3.250 during the week by SD: 2.761. In this group were proved positive correlations with the field of physical well-being (p<0.01), psychosocial well-being (p<0.01), material well-being (p<0.01), education (p<0.10), free time (p<0.05), appearance and property of things (p<0.01). Specially this age is characteristic by reaching the highest goals of physical and mental performance. In the groups of younger and older mature we do not find so many important relationships between the physical activity and some fields of life quality. In these groups we did not find any important correlations of physical activity with physical well-being where the group of young mature reached the same level of physical activity as the group of middle mature. The conclusions show the importance of physical activity in life of kindergarden teachers, they show some possibilities of influencing the life quality through the physical activities but also creating the optimal conditions possibilities to increase the life quality in social environment. The contribution is part of the Ministry of Education grant KEGA 014UKF-4/2013 Improving the quality and level of health of adolescents by means of physical activity in primary and secondary schools.
