Perceived Change among Participants in an Exercise Program for Older Adults.
Emery, Charles F.; Blumenthal, James A.
Gerontologist, v30 n4 p516-21 Aug 1990
Examined effects of aerobics on functioning of 101 older adults. Subjects participated in either aerobics group, yoga group, or waiting list group for 16 weeks. Aerobic and yoga participants perceived positive changes in several significant life areas; perceived improvement was more closely related to objective improvement for physiological indicators than for indicators of cognitive functioning or psychological well-being.
