Summary

The aim of this interventional study is thus to assess and highlight the cognitive, physical, and psychosocial benefits of a combined physical and cognitive training program in an enriched environment and to assess the factors influencing these benefits.

Detailed description

The number of older people worldwide is constantly increasing. However, one of the main problems associated with aging is cognitive decline, which affects essential everyday functions such as memory, attention, and executive functions. Thus, maintaining autonomy and quality of life depends on physical health, and the integrity of cognitive functioning. Cognitive, physical and social activities can all slow this decline but social factors and their contribution to the well-being of older people remain under-researched. The aim of the present study is to analyze how the practice environment can foster these social relations and thus enhance wellbeing and to identify the psychological dimensions that are activated by social relations.
