El propósito del estudio fue determinar el efecto de un programa de acondicionamiento físico basado en el método Pilates sobre variables del estado de ánimo en adultos mayores del Estado de Durango, México. Se diseñó un estudio experimental con un grupo control (GC) y un grupo experimental (GE) y mediciones iniciales (pre-test) y finales (post-test). Participaron 10 adultos mayores en cada grupo, cuyas edades estaban entre los 60 y 80 años. La duración del programa fue de 12 semanas, con 3 sesiones por semana de 50 min cada una. Para evaluar el estado de ánimo se utilizó el Profile of Mood States (POMS). Los datos se analizaron por medio de ANOVA de 2 x 2. Se encontró una interacción significativa entre mediciones y grupos en las dimensiones de tensión (p = 0.001), cólera (p = 0.030), fatiga (p= 0.002) y el puntaje total (p ≤ 0.0001). No se encontró una interacción significativa en la dimensión de depresión (p = 0.065) ni vigor (p = 0.125). Un programa de acondicionamiento físico de 12 semanas basado en el método Pilates mejora algunas variables del estado de ánimo, las cuales pueden ser relevantes para el logro de la buena salud emocional en el adulto mayor.Abstract. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of a Pilates-based fitness program on mood variables in older adults from Durango State, Mexico. An experimental design study was designed with a control group (CG), experimental group (EG), initial (pre-test), and final (post-test) measurements. Ten older adults participated in each group, whose ages were between 60 and 80 years. The program duration was 12 weeks with three sessions per week, each of 50 min. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was used to assess mood. Data were analyzed by 2 x 2 ANOVA. Significant interactions between measurements and experimental groups were found for tension (p = 0.001), anger (p = 0.030), fatigue (p = 0.002) and the total score (p ≤ 0.0001). No significant interactions were found for depression (p = 0.065) and vigor (p = 0.125). A 12 week fitness program based on the Pilates method improved some but not all mood variables, which may be relevant to the achievement of good emotional health in the elderly.

  En México, como en muchos países, ha aumentado considerablemente la población adulta mayor. Este incremento se puede explicar debido a mejores condiciones de vida en general, como una mejor alimentación y nuevos tipos de medicamentos. Por tal motivo, se cuenta con una población adulta mayor que es indispensable estudiar para ofrecerle una mayor independencia, autocuidado y mejor calidad de vida. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el efecto de un programa de Pilates sobre variables psicológicas en adultos mayores del Estado de Durango, México. La metodología del estudio presenta un grupo experimental (GE) n=10 y un grupo control (GC) n=10, mediciones Pre-test y Post-test, la edad de los participantes estuvo entre 60 y 80 años. La duración del programa fue de 12 semanas, con una periodicidad de 3 veces por semana con sesiones de 50 min. Para evaluación de la variable dependiente se utilizó el instrumento WHOQOL BREF, y para el análisis se realizó ANOVA de 2 x 2. Como principales resultados se encontró una interacción significativa (p < 0.05) entre mediciones y grupos en las dimensiones de salud físicas, relaciones sociales, y aspectos psicológicos. Concluyendo que un programa de acondicionamiento físico de 12 semanas de duración basado en el método Pilates permite mejorar variables psicológicas, las cuales son relevantes para el logro de la buena salud en el adulto mayor. Abstract. In Mexico, as in many countries, the elderly population has increased considerably. This increase can be explained by better living conditions, such as better nutrition and new medications. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of a Pilates program on psychological variables in older adults in the State of Durango, Mexico. The methodology included an experimental group (GE n=10) and a control group (GC n=10), and Pre- to Post-test measurements. The participant’s age was between 60 and 80 years. The program length was 12 weeks, where participants attended 50-min sessions, three times per week. Two-by two ANOVA was used to analyze data. The main results were a significant interaction (p < 0.05) between measurements and groups in physical health dimensions, social relationships, and psychological aspects. In conclusion, a 12-week fitness program based on the Pilates method elicits improvements on psychological variables, which are relevant for the achievement of good health in the elderly.

This study assessed and contrasted mood changes associated with a 10-wk. moderate exercise program in 64 formerly sedentary women of different ages. Analyses of covariance, with Week 1 mood scores as the covariates, indicated that the younger exercise group ( n = 32; M age = 33 yr.) and older exercise group ( n = 32; M age = 63 yr.) showed significantly ( p < .05) more residual improvement in scores on McNair, Lorr, and Droppleman's Profile of Mood States Tension, Depression, Vigor, and Fatigue scales than a no-exercise control group ( n = 32; M age = 48 yr.). There were no significant differences in amount of improvement between the younger and older exercise groups. Across both exercise groups, amount of mood score changes over 10 weeks were negatively correlated with initial mood scores ( rs = –.22 to –.75). Limitations and research implications were discussed.

The objective of the present investigation was to relate quality of life and dynamic balance in older adults. To this end, an intentional sample of older adults was taken from the gerontological centers of Chambo and Guano cantons, for which 35 people make up the control group (Chambo); while 71 people make up the intervention group (Guano). In order to reach the goal of the research, the quality of life was evaluated, through a pre-test called WHOQOL - BREF, followed by the Tinetti test that refers to the march - balance, ending with the Timed get up and go test, which determines the mobility measures of people who can walk on their own. To the intervention group, an exercise program was applied to improve the dynamic balance that lasted ten weeks. Finally, by means of a post test, the entire sample was evaluated, which allowed us to analyze whether there was an incidence. In other words, a slight improvement in both dynamic balance and gait after ten weeks of intervention was evidenced.

Background: With an increase in the aged population, there is a growing concern regarding the care of the elderly. This study aims to identify effects of cognicise-neurofeedback on health locus of control, depression, and quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) alpha asymmetry in elderly women. Methods: A quasi-experimental control group pre-test–post-test design was used. Korean women aged 65 years or over at a senior welfare center were randomly allocated to the control (n = 12) or experimental (n = 19) groups from July to October 2019. The intervention consisted of cognicise (exercise with intensified cognitive activity) and neurofeedback twice a week for 10 weeks. The locus of control and depression were measured via self-reported questionnaires. QEEG alpha asymmetry was measured using BrainMaster. Results: Depression significantly decreased in the experimental group (t = 4.113, p = 0.001), while internality in the locus of control significantly decreased in the control group (t = 3.023, p = 0.012). On the other hand, QEEG alpha asymmetry index differences in F3-F4 between the pre-test and post-test were not significant in the experimental group (t = 0.491, p = 0.629) or control group (t = 0.413, p = 0.678). Conclusions: Due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, contact between the elderly and healthcare workers in the clinical practice field has become more restricted. These findings can help decrease negative emotions among elderly women in the community based on an integrated neuroscientific approach.

Background and objectives: Faced with the serious problem of an aging population, exercise is one of the most effective ways to maintain the health of the elderly. In recent years, with the popularization of smartphones, the elderly have increasingly accepted technological products that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI). However, there is not much research on using artificial intelligence bracelets to enhance elders’ motivation and participation in exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of sports smart bracelets and multi-sport training programs on the motivation of the elderly in Macau. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with a randomized trial design in a 12 week multi-sport exercise training intervention. According to the evaluation, a total of sixty elders’ pre- and post-test data were included in this study. Results: After 12 weeks of multi-sport exercise training, the evaluation scores on the exercise motivation scale (EMS) increased significantly in the group wearing exercise bracelets and those taking part in the multi-component exercise program, and the degree of progress reached a statistically significant level, but the control group did not show any statistically significant difference. The influence of the combination of sports smart bracelets and multi-sport training programs on elders’ motivation is clearer. Conclusions: The use of sports smart bracelets by elderly people in conjunction with diverse exercise training can effectively enhance elders’ motivation and increase their participation in regular exercise. The combination of sports smart bracelets and multi-sport training programs is worth promoting in the elderly population.

Purpose:To investigate the effectiveness of a peer-mentored exercise program, this study compared the program perception, retention and participation rates, and physical improvements of older adults trained by peer mentors (PMs) with those of a group trained by student mentors (SMs).Methods:After a 30-week peer-mentor preparation, 60 older adults (M±SDage: 68.7 ± 6.1 yr) were recruited and randomly assigned to either the PM or the SM group. Both groups completed an identical 14-week fitness program. Pre- and posttraining assessments of fitness were completed, and the efficacy of the PMs and SMs was surveyed.Results:High retention was observed in both groups, but the SM group had higher participation. Both groups improved their fitness significantly, with no significant posttest differences between the groups in most fitness measures or in program perception rates.Discussion:Findings suggest effectiveness of the peer-mentor model in an older adult exercise program.

Abstract Drawing on interdisciplinary theorizing and research, the PEACE (Positive Education about Aging and Contact Experiences) model points to two interrelated factors that reduce ageism: providing education about aging and positive intergenerational contact experiences with older adults (Levy 2016). Evidence supporting the model will be discussed including a semester-long pre-posttest intervention with undergraduates (non-gerontology course) who learned about aging and had face-to-face and Instagram contact with older adults (Lytle, Nowacek, & Levy, 2020), brief online pre-post test experimental-control group studies with undergraduates and a community sample who learned about aging and positive intergenerational contact experiences (Lytle & Levy, 2017), and an online experimental-control group study with undergraduates who viewed brief videos addressing PEACE model components (Lytle, Macdonald, Apriceno, & Levy, under review). Across studies, PEACE model interventions promoted increased aging knowledge as well as reduced negative stereotyping of older adults, aging anxiety, and concerns about aging. Future directions will be discussed.

For 36 previously sedentary, asymptomatic women the relation of changes in Fatigue and Energy after exercise and over a 14-wk. period associated with participating in a moderate cardiovascular exercise program was analyzed. Scores on the Exercise-induced Feeling Inventory subscale of Physical Exhaustion significantly decreased, and those on the subscale of Revitalization significantly increased immediately after completion of exercise. Feeling state scores before exercise (high vs low on Physical Exhaustion and Revitalization) were not significantly associated with the change in scores on the subscales. Scores on the Profile of Mood States subscale of Fatigue significantly decreased and on the subscale of Vigor significantly increased over the 14-wk. study. Participants with initially higher Fatigue scores showed significantly greater mean change over the 14 wk. than those with lower scores. No such difference was found for changes in Vigor scores. Significant correlations between both measures of Fatigue (Physical Exhaustion and Fatigue) ( r = .36) and Energy (Revitalization and Vigor) ( r = .54) were found which indicated a relation between changes in feeling after exercise and those over 14 wk. Limitations and implications of the findings were discussed based on theories of exercise-induced affective change.

Adolescence is considered as a crucial stage for emotional development. It is also seen as a time of hyper-emotionality, emotional conflict, and volatile mood states. Given that adolescents lack skills for emotional management, emotional distress during these years can hamper their immediate growth and adversely affect their transition to the next stage of life. Interventions that promote positive emotional development during adolescence are the need of the hour. Keeping this in focus, the present study investigated the Effect of Life Skills Training on Adolescent boys and girls with high Emotional Distress. The study used pre- and post-test experimental design with a control group to examine the stated objectives. 160 adolescent boys and girls (n=80), with a mean age of 16.44 years, were selected for the study using Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Of these, 80 in the experimental group (boys=40, girls=40) were trained in life skills. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test and repeated measures of ANOVA were used to analyze obtained results. Major findings of the study indicate that Life Skills training has significant effect in reducing emotional distress and improving emotional health in adolescents. And the significance of it was found to be higher in girls compared to boys.
