Περιγραφή:
Research indicates that there is a positive impact of physical activity on the maintenance of cognitive performance, on improvement of mood, selfperceptions and life satisfaction and on the decrease of depressive symptoms and feelings of loneliness. However, better research designs, clearer conceptual frameworks and improved instrumentation is necessary before a cause and effect relationship can be fully established and the mechanisms underpinning any effect can be identified.
