Abstract
The impact of physical exercise activity and cognitive executive functions and their impact on the QoL is of great importance in performing ADL and IADL in the senior citizens. This study will provide an inside into multidimensional factors which can impact the cognitive and physical mobility of the persons in the old age. Moreover, it is also desirable to measure the QoL on the basis of PSCQL-MT on a larger scale for longer duration of time. The role of gender on the QoL using different variables needs to be further evaluated. The objectives of the study are: To find out the relationship between the cognitive improvement due to physical exercise activities in the elderly persons. To find out the effect of different variables on QoL in male and female. The following hypothesis will be tested based on PSCQL-MT questionnaire. H1: Physical exercise activities play an important role in stabilizing or improving the cognitive functions on the basis of gender in the study population. H2: Physical exercise activities do not play an important role in stabilizing or improving the cognitive functions on the basis of gender in the study population. The result of the study showed that recent physical exercise activity does not play any significant role in improving the QoL. The cognitive functions in the senior citizens who perform ADL and IADL depend upon the physical mobility and mental ability for the persons. The long term physical exercise activity, socio-cultural level, lifestyle, leisure activities and health behavior play a significant in maintaining the cognitive functions and physical health in the senior citizens. The scope of this study was to find out the moderating factors which can preserve cognitive executive functions in the senior citizens. Our study is more related on the concept of physical exercise activities and its impact on the cognitive executive functions in the elderly. The PSCQL-MT questionnaire contains all the dimensions which are necessary to find out the relationship of physical activities and cognitive functions in terms of ADL and IADL. The PSCQL-MT questionnaire and the modified questionnaires are very closed in terms of their dimensions. We concluded from the study that physical exercise activity in the long term is very important in preserving the cognitive functions in the elderly persons. We also found out that the PSCQL-MT questionnaire is a good addition to conduct research on the different aspects of healthy living in the different population.
Highlights
The study “Physical Exercise Activity, Cognitive Functions and Its Relationship to Quality of Life in the Senior Citizens of Lahore” has been carried out previously to find out the impact of physical exercise activity and cognitive executive functions
In the study “Development, Testing of Construct Validity and Reliability of Pakistan Senior Citizens Quality of Life - Measurement Tool (PSCQL-MT) to Measure QoL in Senior Citizens of Lahore, Pakistan” the validation liability and construct validly of (PSCQL-MT) was tested and retested on limited scale. The results of both studies have provided us evidence the correlation with physical exercise activity and cognitive executive functions to measure the quality of life in the study population
The result of our study showed that recent physical exercise activity does not improve cognitive functions in male and female
Summary
The study “Physical Exercise Activity, Cognitive Functions and Its Relationship to Quality of Life in the Senior Citizens of Lahore” has been carried out previously to find out the impact of physical exercise activity and cognitive executive functions. In the study “Development, Testing of Construct Validity and Reliability of Pakistan Senior Citizens Quality of Life - Measurement Tool (PSCQL-MT) to Measure QoL in Senior Citizens of Lahore, Pakistan” the validation liability and construct validly of (PSCQL-MT) was tested and retested on limited scale. The results of both studies have provided us evidence the correlation with physical exercise activity and cognitive executive functions to measure the quality of life in the study population. This study has been carried out on the physical activities and its relation to cognitive executive functions about the maintenance of ADL and IADL. He found out that the maintenance of the cognitive functions is direct related to the ability of brain plasticity. [2]
