“…Healthy ageing is defined as the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well‐being in older age . In the included review, healthy ageing was used as a collective term whereby a number of outcomes were grouped, for example, living to a specific age or during follow‐up; health status (measures included the (PHQ) patient health questionnaire and the self‐rated life satisfaction questionnaire); physical performance; diseases (assessed via medical history questionnaire) . A sensitivity analysis with participants aged ≥65 years of age at baseline showed a significant positive association between physical activity and healthy ageing (ES = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.22, P < .001).…”

Background Globally, populations are ageing. Typically, physical activity levels decline and health worsens as we age; however, estimates of the impact of physical inactivity for population health often fail to specifically focus on older adults. Methods Multiple databases were searched for systematic reviews and/or meta‐analyses of longitudinal observational studies, investigating the relationship between physical activity and any physical or mental health outcome in adults aged ≥60 years. Quality of included reviews was assessed using AMSTAR. Results Twenty‐four systematic reviews and meta‐analyses were included. The majority of reviews were of moderate or high methodological quality. Physically active older adults (≥60 years) are at a reduced risk of all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality, breast and prostate cancer, fractures, recurrent falls, ADL disability and functional limitation and cognitive decline, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and depression. They also experience healthier ageing trajectories, better quality of life and improved cognitive functioning. Conclusion This review of reviews provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of epidemiological evidence from previously conducted research to assess the associations of physical activity with physical and mental health outcomes in older adults.

“…Consequently, it is important to motivate people at an earlier stage of their life. As a meta‐analysis of Daskalopoulou et al () shows: “…when participants engaged in physical activity their odds of living a healthy life in an older age were increased compared to participants that were physically less active or inactive.” Laffon de Mazières et al () propagated the necessity of preventive interventions where older people can participate instead of rehabilitative measures after functional decline as well.…”

Aims and objectives To identify the attitudes and needs of nursing home residents regarding physical activity. Background Nursing home residents often have mobility problems and are at high risk for further mobility impairment. From their point of view, being physically active is an important part of their perceived quality of life. However, no study has synthesised existing qualitative literature on residents’ attitudes and needs regarding physical activity. Design Synthesis of qualitative studies. Methods A systematic review and synthesis of qualitative studies was performed, using ENTREQ statement for reporting. Three databases (PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO) were searched, supplemented by a hand search. Qualitative studies published in English or German were included if they addressed the attitudes and needs of residents concerning the promotion of physical activities. Finally, 12 studies were critically reviewed, and a thematic synthesis was conducted. Results Four analytical themes relating to residents’ attitudes were identified: “promoting physical activity increases the quality of life,” “accepting the conditions,” “personal initiative is significant” and “promoting physical activity is not helpful.” Relating to residents’ needs, the analyses yielded five themes: “living autonomously,” “continuing life as before,” “competent care,” “individually adapted programme and support,” and “barrier‐free accessibility.” Conclusion Nursing home residents have different attitudes and needs regarding being physically active. It is important to perceive these attitudes and needs of each resident and to offer an individually adapted programme and support. Further research should consider motivational strategies for residents who are not very much familiar with being physically active and offer exercise programmes with individual parts to address residents’ preferences. Relevance to clinical practice To motivate and activate residents, institutions should be aware of residents’ individual attitudes and needs regarding physical activity. Further development of interventions concerning mobility promotion activities and their implementation in long‐term care settings should consider the outlined factors.

“…Coraz więcej doniesień potwierdza, że tryb życia bogaty w aktywność fizyczną istotnie zwiększa szanse udanego starzenia się również pod wzglę-dem poznawczym (Daskalopoulou et al, 2017). Wydaje się, że regularny wysiłek wpływa na mózg chroniąco zarówno w kontekście fizjologicznego, jak i patologicznego starzenia się.…”

Aktywność fizyczna a wybrane aspekty kondycji psychicznej osób starszychPhysical activity and chosen aspects of psychological status of elderly adultsStreszczenie. Celem poniższego artykułu jest dokonanie przeglądu aktualnych badań na temat związku aktywności fizycznej z wybranymi aspektami kondycji psychicznej osób starszych. Spośród licznych aspektów psychicznych wybrano następujące: funkcje poznawcze oraz lęk i depresję jako wybrane aspekty funkcjonowania emocjonalnego seniorów. Wyniki analizy sugerują, że aktywność fizyczna koreluje z lepszym poziomem funkcjonowania poznawczego oraz niższym poziomem depresji i lęku.Słowa kluczowe: aktywność fizyczna, kondycja psychiczna, sprawność osób starszych, funkcje poznawcze, demencja, lęk, depresja Summary. The aim of this article is to review current research on relationship between physical activity and chosen aspects of psychological status of elderly adults. Among many psychological aspects cognitive functions and anxiety and depression as emotional aspects were chosen. The results suggest that physical activity correlates with higher cognitive performance and lower rates of anxiety and depression. ności, samodzielności i kondycji psychicznej osób starszych. Warto przy tym zauważyć, że w doniesieniach naukowych dominują przekazy, że wydłuża się przede wszystkim czas życia obarczony chorobą i niesprawnością, natomiast mniej uwagi poświęca się wydłużeniu czasu zdrowego życia. Niezależnie od powyższego mamy obecnie do czynienia z rozpowszechnianiem się w społeczeństwie aktywności fizycznej zorientowanej zdrowotnie (Rymarczyk, 2012). Mimo widocznego w ostatnich latach wzrostu popularności podejmowania aktywności fizycznej wśród osób dorosłych, należy dostrzec konieczność propagowania jej wśród ludzi starszych (Leszczyńska, 2013). Pojawia się jednak pytanie o rzeczywiste znaczenie aktywności fizycznej dla seniorów.Celem poniższego artykułu jest dokonanie przeglądu bieżącej literatury przedmiotu na temat związku aktywności fizycznej z wybranymi aspektami kondycji psychicznej osób starszych: sprawnością funkcjonalną, sferą poznawczą oraz sferą emocjonalną.Jak wiadomo "aktywność fizyczna" jest pojęciem obszernym znaczeniowo, odnoszącym się do dowolnej formy ruchu spowodowanej pracą mięś-ni, przy którym wydatek energii przekracza poziomy energii spoczynkowej (rekomendacje Grupy Roboczej UE "Sport i Zdrowie", 2008). Z kolei Barankiewicz pojmuje aktywność fizyczną jako "podejmowanie w ramach wypoczynku czynnego różnego rodzaju zabaw, ćwiczeń i dyscyplin sportu, dla przyjemności, rekreacji i zdrowia, poprawy zdolności wysiłkowej, zdobywania specjalnych sprawności i umiejętności fizycznych, zapobiegania powstawaniu chorób cywilizacyjnych (poprawa sprawności układu krążenia, ruchowego, oddechowego, przeciwdziałania stresowi psychicznemu), zwiększeniu korzystnych wpływów na zdolność do pracy fizycznej i umysłowej" (Barankiewicz, 1998, s. 11). W poniższej pracy termin ten zostanie użyty w węż-szym znaczeniu, jako aktywność podejmowana w ramach wypoczynku czynnego, zgodnie z defin...
