Elderly people who regularly engage in physical activities can lead healthier lives. Continued exercise in older adults can project healthy aging, improve physical capacity, and sometimes prevent certain diseases. However, variables related to lack of physical activity in older adults are not well studied. The aim of the article “Perceived social-cognitive and environmental influences associated with physical activity among older Australians” is to identify social, cognitive and environmental factors related to physical activity among older adults. This article review will discuss the methods, results, discussion as well as a conclusion of the selected article.MethodsThe study design was created by the researchers themselves and was evaluated by two models of logistic regression, which were used to identify predictors of physical activity. . A total of 449 subjects were included in the study (Booth et al, 2000). Subjects were randomly selected and were aged 60 years and older. Researchers assessed subjects' reported physical activity as well as a wide range of socio-cognitive and self-perceived environmental factors (Booth et al, 2000). Participants were classified as sufficiently active or inactive based on their self-reported energy estimates of their weekly physical activities (Booth, et al, 2000). Several variables were measured, including: sociodemographic measures, attitudes, environmental measures, self-efficacy, social factors. reinforcement, social modeling and participation in physical activity (Booth et al, 2000). Results The study results demonstrated a strong positive link between socio-cognitive function and environmental factors with exercise in older adults.

This article is valuable because it demonstrates how older adults' environment and their socio-cognitive state can influence their ability to exercise. I would recommend this article to other students and I learned from this article that older adults with more access to exercise equipment and emotional support from family and friends will pursue a more active lifestyle. In the future, additional research is needed to address the limitations of this study by allowing a larger sample size. It would also be interesting to modify the location in which the study is carried out; this may result in a larger sample size, which will allow us a more in-depth analysis. It would also be beneficial to add the socio-economic status variable to this study, given that older adults who have fewer financial resources may have fewer opportunities to lead a physically active lifestyle..
