Background: This systematic review provides an overview about those papers with a specific physical exercise intervention aimed to improve physical, cognitive and/or emotional outcomes in healthy older people aged 60 or over. Studies with no intervention whose sample were active healthy older adults were also included.Methods: An exhaustive literature search was done through two databases, including studies from January 2000 to July 2020. Results: Of the 2006 identified records, 66 met the inclusion criteria and were selected. Results from the review showed a wide variety of older adults and lengths of the interventions, from five weeks (the shortest one) to five years. Aerobic exercise, either isolated or combined with strength performance, was also the most common type of exercise recognized in this systematic review.Conclusions: Findings also suggest that the number of studies with all, physical, cognitive and emotional outcomes have been increasing during recent years in healthy older adults.

“…Given these aforementioned positive impacts of participation in curling as sport, community health nurses can recommend curling as a safe winter sport with recognized positive benefits (Stone et al., 2018) or utilize curling rinks as a community resource when implementing the Canadian Community Health Nursing Standards of Practice (Community Health Nurses Association of Canada, 2008). Community health nurses and other health-care providers need to recognize the potential positive impacts of curling on rural community members’ health as well as their own health and well-being.…”

“…Curling, played on ice in teams of four, is recognized as a relatively safe winter sport. A recent study found that older adults who curled reported “better functionality, physical confidence, and aging attitudes compared to noncurlers” (Stone, Rakhamilova, Gage, & Baker, 2018, p. 267). The role of curling in rural life, however, has been underexplored (Mair, 2007, 2009; Pezer, 2003), especially in the context of health promotion.…”

Background Health and well-being are multifaceted, with several lifestyle factors contributing (positively or negatively) to one’s health status. Purpose The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the health of rural women in the context of the sport of curling and curling clubs. As part of a national study, this study highlights findings from 17 female participants from two rural communities in Manitoba. Methods Qualitative data were collected using photovoice. Participants were asked to photograph images they felt represented health in the context of the curling rink. Researchers then conducted focus groups in which each participant was asked to choose and discuss two photographs. Results The participants photographed a total of 333 images, which were analyzed using thematic analysis. A total of six main themes emerged from the photographs and transcripts: facilitating social connections, enhancing physical health, promoting mental health, pride in the sport of curling, contributing to personal growth, and promoting gender equality. Conclusion Similar to the national study results, the findings in this study indicate that nurses, particularly community health nurses, as well as policy-makers, local communities, and others need to recognize the value of curling clubs to the health and well-being of rural populations.

“…Those active practitioners took part in different studies doing regular activities, such as yoga (Afonso et al, 2017), athletics (Batmyagmar et al, 2019) and dancing (Serra et al, 2016). However, there were also studies (41%) that did not specify the PA profile of their samples, as well as those whose samples were comprised of both active and sedentary people (Stone et al, 2018). In those papers in which there was no physical exercise intervention, we only included the physically active sample.…”
