Despite the increasing concern with the study of sport and leisure activities of the elderly, little attention has been given to the influence of sport and leisure activities upon quality of life. The purposes of this study were to replicate the Brown & Frankel study (1993) which analyzed participation in physical activity, leisure satisfaction, and life satisfaction, and to examine a modified model between the middle-aged and the elderly. A questionnaire survey was conducted to 458 people of the middle-aged and 212 elderly in Kakogawa city.The replication study indicated that the Brown & Frankel model accounted for 43% of the variance in explaining life satisfaction for males and 47% for females. It can be said that the Brown & Frankel model is applicable to the Japanese context. The findings indicated the generation differences in the influence of sport participation and free time upon life satisfaction between the middle-aged and the elderly. The results also showed that a significant association between sport participation and life satisfaction was found for the female middle-aged and the male elderly.It was suggested that active lifestyle might facilitate the improvement of quality of life in the future. Future study should pay attention to understand gender differences in the relationship between sport participation and life satisfaction from a life course perspective
