Objectives A large volume of studies on sports and physical activities of the older adults, whose results are somewhat ambiguous, has made planning and policy-making for this area difficult, so it is necessary to combine the results of past research and be integrated. Therefore, the present study was conducted to examine factors affecting the exercise and physical activity of the older adults in Iran.
Methods This research method is a meta-analysis to combine the research on factors affecting the exercise and physical activity of the elderly in Iran. The statistical community of this research comprises descriptive (survey and correlation) and available studies within the country in the form of full-text articles in databases and university libraries between 2012 and 2022. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 17 studies were examined. To analyze the primary research, the effect size was used separately for each study; the combined effect size with two fixed and random effects models, funnel plot, sensitivity analysis, homogeneity test, I square, and NF-S statistic was used. Also, the type of effect size index used was the r index, calculated with the help of CMA version 2 software.
Results The results related to the combined effect size were obtained for the random effects model (r=0.528) and the fixed effects model (r=0.532). Also, the results showed that among 73 effect sizes, 15 cases had small effect sizes, 37 patients had medium effect sizes, and 21 points had high effect sizes. Finally, it was determined that cultural and social factors with an effect size of (r=0.622) have the most significant effect on the exercise and physical activity of the elderly in Iran, followed by individual characteristics (r=0.591), motivation (r=0.573), environmental factors (r=0.572), economic factors (r=0.478) and interpersonal factors (r=0.431) in the ranks.
Conclusion Based on this result, the exercise and physical activity of the older adults in Iran is influenced by many factors, and simply emphasizing a specific criterion or index cannot provide the context for the participation of the elderly in exercise. Still, it is necessary to consider cultural and social factors, individual factors, motivation, environmental factors, economic factors and interpersonal factors should be regarded as more than other factors affecting the exercise and physical activity of the older adults. |
