This research takes a glance towards the solution of elderly problems by closely examining the inter-relationship between solitude, changes in social network and leisure sport activities by selecting 361 experimental subjects and was able to draw the following results, and compared it to the preceding studies. The level of solitude based on the frequency of leisure sport activities showed a significant statistical difference to that of sense of alienation, social relationship, and loss of one’s social role - which are subordinate elements of solitude. The level of solitude based on the time allocation on leisure sport activities showed a significant statistical difference to that of social relationship and loss of one’s social role. The social relations network based on the frequency of leisure sport activities showed a significant statistical difference to that of boundary of contact which is a subordinate element of social network. The social network based on the time allocation on leisure sport activities showed a significant statistical difference only to that of boundary of contact. The level of solitude based on degree of leisure sport activities participation showed a significant statistical difference to that of sense of alienation, and social relations and loss of one’s social role was affected by the frequency and time allocation of leisure sport activities. The degree of participation of leisure sport activities seemed to only affect the subordinate elements of social network, and the frequency and time allocation on the leisure sport activities seemed to have a significant statistical impact on the boundary of contact.
