Résumé:
This study explores the impact of adapted physical activity on the mental
health of the elderly, focusing on the relationship between this activity and
levels of anxiety, depression, and well-being. The research employed a quasi-
experimental design, involving 30 elderly participants. Data were collected
using anxiety and depression scales, along with a psychological well-being
measure, both before and after the program.
The results indicated a significant 25% reduction in anxiety levels in the
experimental group compared to the control group. Furthermore, a 20%
improvement was observed in depression indicators, and a 30% increase in
psychological well-being was noted ، the study recommends integrating adapted
physical activity programs into healthcare plans for the elderly, emphasizing the
need to design these programs based on individual needs. It also suggests
conducting longitudinal studies to evaluate the long-term effects of these
programs and develop strategies to enhance adherence ، these findings highlight
the vital role of adapted physical activity in promoting mental health and
improving the quality of life for the elderly.
