Abstract

The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis and investigate the impact of exercise on cognitive function in elderly individuals in South Korea. To achieve this goal, academic journals published in South Korea between January 2012 and August 2022 were analyzed comprehensively. The study selected 34 final studies and used the CMA 2.0 for meta-analysis. First, the overall effect size of exercise intervention was found to be significantly large (ES = 1.138). Second, gender and age were not statistically significant to explain effect size of exercise intervention. Third, the study found that a 16-week intervention period had the greatest effect (ES = 2.700). Lastly, the effect size of exercise intervention increased with the passage of time (p=.008). In conclusion, the study found that exercise participation among elderly individuals had a positive impact on cognitive function improvement. The effect of exercise increased with the passage of time.
