Physical independence is crucial for overall health in the elderly individuals. The life expectancy of women has been shown to be higher than that of men, which is also known as the “male–female health-survival paradox”. Sex hormones may be one of the
There is no statistically significant difference (p > .05) in flexibility between subjects of different age groups after the age of 60. The greatest differences were found in lower and upper extremities strength. The subjects aged 60 64 significantly differ in the strength of the lower ...
In total, 39 people participated in the study, which included 14 women and 25 men. The average age was 44 years (with a range from 23 to 70 years). Researchers did not inquire after the level of social, emotional or intellectual function, nor the ethnicity of the participants. The partic...
Recent studies have shown reduced physical activity at early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is a lack of investigation on longitudinal changes in physical activity beyond lockdowns and stay-at-home orders. Moreover, it is unclear if ther
This study investigated personality differences among high fit, young (n=7); high fit, old (n=7); low fit, young (n=7); and low fit, old (n=7) groups before and after a physical fitness program consisting of jogging, calisthenics, and recreational activities. Personality characteristics ...

In addition, the sample weights rely on voter registration records from 2006, which might introduce bias into the estimates due to both imperfections in the administrative system as well as changes in the underlying population since the records were created. Despite these limitations, it is unlikely...
Physical independence is crucial for overall health in the elderly individuals. The life expectancy of women has been shown to be higher than that of men, which is also known as the “male–female health-survival paradox”. Sex hormones may be one of the explanations. However, the relationship...
Secondary aims were to determine whether there were changes in grip strength, flexibility (sit and reach) and waist circumference. The primary hypothesis was that older adults would experience significant improvements in physical function following participation in the Exercise Right for Active Ageing ...
