A 16-week interventional study demonstrates improved functional capacity and quality of life in retired older adults, indicating broad benefits for healthy aging.

Key Points

To evaluate how lifelong and structured multicomponent physical activity influences functional aging, quality of life, and socioeconomic development in older adults.
Conceptual review assessing the physiological, cognitive, and macroeconomic impacts of population-level physical activity across aging demographics.
A 16-week multicomponent physical activity intervention consisting of aerobic exercise, resistance training, flexibility, and functional movement among retired Ahmadu Bello University staff in Nigeria.
Functional capacity improved from pre-intervention (M = 18.4, SD = 4.7) to post-intervention (M = 26.8, SD = 3.9).
Health-related quality of life scores increased from a pre-intervention mean of 62.3 (SD = 11.2) to a post-intervention mean of 78.6 (SD = 9.4).
Social engagement scores rose from pre-intervention (M = 42.7, SD = 8.3) to post-intervention (M = 58.2, SD = 7.1).
