Item Physical exercise and healthy ageing; impact on general well-being and physical fitness in older adults(Federacion Espanola de Docentes de Educacion Fisica, 2025-02-14) Chavarro, Javier Gaviria; Zambrano Bermeo, Rosa Nury; Rojas Padilla, Isabel Cristina; Gómez Gaviria, Martha LilianaIntroduction: physical exercise is crucial for healthy aging, offering multiple benefits in physical fitness and general well-being of older adults. Objective: to evaluate the effects of three types of physical exercise (dance, coordinated exercises and multimodal program) on functional capacity and general well-being in older adults in a Colombian city. Methodology: quasi-experimental study with 450 older adults who attended daily meetings in three elderly groups, participated voluntarily and signed informed consent; Senior-Fitness-Test and T-WHO5 scale were applied. Results: multimodal exercise had a greater impact on the improvement of physical capacities while dance on psychological well-being; the intervention focused on coordination was the least effective. Discussion: In agreement with other authors, we identified not only the main effects of each intervention, but also how the variables of time, age and the interactions between them influence the results obtained.
