Discussion
This quasi-experimental study aimed to explore: 1)
the effect of the Jog Your Mind program on the
practice of Physical Activity; 2) the moderating and mediating effect
of Physical Activity on the program’s impact on cognition; 3) the
association between Physical Activity and various aspects of
cognition before participants started the cognitive
vitality program. In total, 294 individuals aged 60 and
over were assessed using cognitive tests and
questionnaires, as well as tools to measure Physical Activity. Based
on the correlations at baseline, and multiple pre- and
post-test regressions to measure the impact of both the
program and the practice of Physical Activity, it was found that
participation in the program was associated with an
increase in Physical Activity; however, the practice of Physical Activity did not
have a significant moderating or mediating effect on
cognition. Finally, in the total sample the most active
subjects, prior to entering the study, used more
memory techniques as measured with a selfadministered
questionnaire.
