An Investigation Into the Effects of Acute Exercise on Activities of Daily Living and Cognition in Older Adults
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Physical Inactivity
In brief
Research has demonstrated the positive effects of chronic exercise on cognitive functioning and performance of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). However, minimal research exists regarding the effects of acute exercise. To address this gap in the literature, the present study investigated the effect of an acute bout of exercise on executive functions, balance, and ADLs among healthy older adults. Based on the current literature, we expected participants in the exercise group to perform better on executive function tasks and ADLs compared to participants in the control group.
