“…Instead, women with lower time devoted to exercise present few differences between younger and older age groups. These results confirm the decline found in exercise throughout their life (Casado‐Pérez et al, 2015; Caspersen et al, 2000; Milanović et al, 2013; Telama & Yang, 2000), with men presenting a greater decline than women. Furthermore, the results focus on adolescence as a crucial developmental stage in the acquisition and maintenance of healthy habits, where exercise should be recognized by its impact on the health of subsequent evolutionary stages in people's lives (Daw, Margolis, & Verdery, 2015; Telama et al, 2005).…”

“…The practice of exercise has been reported to be a beneficial aspect in every developmental period in human life, but studies show that this practice declines from childhood to old age (Caspersen, Pereira, & Curran, 2000). This decline is more evident when comparing specific developmental stages such as the early and late elderly stages (Casado‐Pérez et al, 2015; Milanović et al, 2013) or adolescence and young adulthood (Telama & Yang, 2000). It seems evident that the benefits of exercise increase with practice.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore relationships between the practice of exercise, gender, and health, from adolescence to old age, testing the magnitude of gender differences throughout the life cycle in the practice of exercise of Spanish people. A cross‐sectional study with 4,575 women and 4,334 men, aged 13–85 years, was conducted. The participants were assessed on the weekly hours they dedicated to the practice of exercise, masculine/instrumental and feminine/expressive traits, mental health symptomatology, and self‐rated health). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed in the age groups of adolescence, late adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood, and older age. Results showed that men dedicated significantly more hours to the practice of exercise than women within all age groups, except in older age (men´s average = 4.07; women´s average = 2.55). The masculine/instrumental trait played a mediating role between gender and practice of exercise hours. Furthermore, a decline in the amount of time dedicated to exercise from adolescence to older age was found, with higher drops in men. Finally, the practice of exercise was associated with better self‐rated health and less mental symptoms. These results underline the important role that gender and masculine‐instrumental trait play on the practice of exercise .

“…Specifically, lower body strength was already low at the age of 65 [ 38 ]. It appears that there is an increase in PA among seniors in the last decade in both the United States [ 37 , 39 , 40 ] and Spain [ 41 – 43 ]. However, around 85% of senior people of both sexes did not meet the recommended 75 min/wk of vigorous-intensity PA in our study.…”

Physical Activity Patterns of the Spanish Population Are Mostly Determined by Sex and Age: Findings in the ANIBES Study

et al. 2016

BackgroundRepresentative data for the Spanish population regarding physical activity (PA) behaviors are scarce and seldom comparable due to methodological inconsistencies.AimOur objectives were to describe the PA behavior by means of the standardized self-reported International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and to know the proportion of the Spanish population meeting and not meeting international PA recommendations.Material and MethodsPA was assessed using the IPAQ in a representative sample of 2285 individuals (males, 50.4%) aged 9–75 years and living in municipalities of at least 2,000 inhabitants. Data were analyzed according to: age groups 9–12, 13–17, 18–64, and 65–75 years; sex; geographical distribution; locality size and educational levels.ResultsMean total PA was 868.8±660.9 min/wk, mean vigorous PA 146.4±254.1 min/wk, and mean moderate PA 398.1±408.0 min/wk, showing significant differences between sexes (p<0.05). Children performed higher moderate-vigorous PA than adolescents and seniors (p<0.05), and adults than adolescents and seniors (p<0.05). Compared to recommendations, 36.2% of adults performed <150 min/week of moderate PA, 65.4% <75 min/week of vigorous PA and 27.0% did not perform any PA at all, presenting significant differences between sexes (p<0.05). A total of 55.4% of children and adolescents performed less than 420 min/week of MVPA, being higher in the later (62.6%) than in the former (48.4%). Highest non-compliance was observed in adolescent females (86.5%).ConclusionSex and age are the main influencing factors on PA in the Spanish population. Males engage in more vigorous and light PA overall, whereas females perform more moderate PA. PA behavior differs between age groups and no clear lineal increase with age could be observed. Twenty-seven percent of adults and 55.4% of children and adolescents do not meet international PA recommendations. Identified target groups should be addressed to increase PA in the Spanish population.

“…Las participantes de nivel aceptable reportaron edad similar y mayor escolaridad que las de nivel de AF bajo. Por otro lado, Casado-Pérez et al (2015) también reportaron que a partir de los 65 años se presenta una disminución paulatina de la AF en adultos mayores de España. Pudiera ser que el lugar de donde se seleccionó la muestra de este estudio haya influido este resultado contrastante, la asistencia a la casa club representa un factor protector característico de esta muestra.…”

This descriptive comparative study examined differences in personal characteristics, exercise self-efficacy, benefits and barriers of independent elderly women to perform physical activity (PA) according with the PA level. Two hundred three women older than 60 years of age, from a community located in Nuevo Leon, Mexico participated in the study. Data was collected using: a) A personal data questionnaire, b) Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale, c) Exercise Benefits/ Barriers Scale and d) Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly were completed. Age was similar in participants with low and acceptable PA level. Participants with lower levels of PA reported consuming more medications, fewer years of education and lower values of exercise self-efficacy, benefits and barriers. In this sample, exercise self-efficacy and benefits were positively associated with the PA level.
