It is also same in adult sports program that America. has more various programs than Korea. Majority of America. programs were heath-related programs rather than sports exercises. In terms of senior exercise program, Korean program has much diversity than America. and it consists of hearth-related programs rather than professional sports programs.2. In America, there are no special exercise programs for Alienation Group and low incomes class, and to get discount in registration, poor people have to submit documents which prove their incomes. However, in Korea most of senior programs were with no charge or extremely low incomes. We could hardly find any no charge programs in America.
