“…Skills associated with setting objectives autonomously, using initiative, perseverance in activities, and perceiving events in terms of opportunities for development and self-improvement are important factors contributing to quality of life and successful aging [39]. Moreover, the benefits of NW training are reflected in a decrease of depressive symptoms [40,41], development of coping strategies for anxiety [42], and amelioration of sleeping disorders [43].…”

“…However, some studies did not find any benefits in cognitively healthy older adults who participated in aerobic physical activities [50] and there are still few reports on the effectiveness of NW training in improving cognitive functioning in the elderly. The most frequently indicated effect is a positive impact on attentional functioning and information processing speed [42]. Yet, there is a lack of data indicating the improvement of executive functions.…”

Improvement of Attention, Executive Functions, and Processing Speed in Elderly Women as a Result of Involvement in the Nordic Walking Training Program and Vitamin D Supplementation

Research indicates that life satisfaction declines with age, and cognitive abilities are gradually reduced—mainly attentional functioning and cognitive processing speed. Therefore, scientists seek to find protective factors and test possible intervention programs; moderately intensive physical activity stands out as particularly promising. In this context, we evaluated the influence of Nordic Walking training supported by vitamin D supplementation (as this nutrient is especially deficient in older people in Poland) on the cognitive and psychological functioning of elderly women. A total of 52 healthy elderly women took part in a Nordic Walking training program complemented by vitamin D supplementation. Cognitive functioning was assessed with the Trail Making Test and the D2 Test of Attention. Quality of life and severity of depressive symptoms were measured with the Short Form Health Survey and the Beck Depression Inventory 2. Significant improvements in all aspects of cognitive functioning was observed (p = 0.01–0.47). The study also showed a decrease in depressive symptoms (p = 0.026). Physical activity and adequate levels of vitamin D can be the key factors in maintaining self-reliance in old age. Involvement in Nordic Walking training, supported by vitamin D supplementation, can strengthen the cognitive functioning of older people—reflected in higher attentional capabilities, better executive functions, and improved cognitive processing speed.

“…Cognitive impairment is seen in 40–60% of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) depending on definitions and measurement tools . It occurs more commonly in males and is frequently under‐diagnosed . Cognitive impairment includes deficits in complex attention, executive functioning, information processing efficiency and speed, and long‐term memory .…”

Results of experimental studies suggest that regular physical exercise improves general cognitive function such as attention, memory or speed of information processing in elderly. Despite relatively numerous studies that have demonstrated the benefits of the cognitive area the researchers emphasize the need for further research. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of regular Nordic walking (NW) exercises on the selection of visual stimuli in older women and to establish correlations between perceptual and physical fitness benefits. The study examined 60 women aged 64 to 93 years in three groups. Twenty people participated in a 3-month programme combining NW and CT (group NW+CT), 20 people participated only in NW classes (group NW), and 20 people were a control group (group C). The Attention and Perceptivity Test, the Fullerton Functional Fitness Test, and the Romberg balance tests were conducted. The improvements in abilities to select visual stimuli were found in both experimental groups. Almost all indices of improved physical fitness were positively correlated with indices of improved visual perception. NW training connected with simple cognitive exercises is effective in improving ability to select visual stimuli. Physical training should involve both aerobic and strength exercises combined with cognitive exercises.
