AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how elderly individuals' satisfaction with exercising in snowy conditions affects their health and future care needs.
- Data was collected from participants aged 65 and older living in cold areas, focusing on exercise satisfaction, frailty, quality of life, and cardiovascular health.
- Results indicated that those with lower winter exercise satisfaction were more likely to need increased care three years later, highlighting the importance of seasonal exercise satisfaction in planning healthcare for older adults.
Article Abstract
This study investigated how elderly individuals' exercise satisfaction in snowy areas relates to their health indicators and future care needs. Survey data were collected from individuals aged ≥65 years who lived in snowy-cold regions. Participants completed measures of exercise satisfaction, frailty, quality of life (QOL), and cardiovascular health study during the winter and spring of 2019, with a follow-up measure in 2022 to assess care needs. Findings revealed an association between exercise satisfaction, QOL, and frailty indicators, irrespective of the season. Notably, winter exercise satisfaction showed a stronger correlation with future care needs compared to spring exercise satisfaction. Those expressing low winter exercise satisfaction were significantly more likely to require increased care 3 years later than those reporting no inactivity. Although physical activity was not measured directly, the findings underscore that perceptions of exercise satisfaction during snowy seasons can predict future care needs in older adults. The influence of seasonal variations and subjective exercise satisfaction on long-term care requirements is vital for tailored interventions and improved healthcare strategies for older adults in cold regions.

Background: Acute postoperative pain is often reported after repair of inguinal hernia and can negatively impact patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. This includes delayed wound healing, longer hospitalization, and increased health care costs. Non-pharmacological techniques like Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and Rhythmic Breathing (RB) have been suggested as possible interventions for managing this type of pain.

Introduction: Self-determination theory (SDT) highlights the importance of satisfying people's basic psychological needs (BPN) (autonomy, competence and relatedness) in order to ensure their personal growth and wellbeing. In this regard, sport and physical activity (PA) have been shown to offer significant health benefits, particularly in the case of people with intellectual disability (ID), among whom the benefits are even more noticeable owing to their low levels of PA, sedentary lifestyle, limited opportunities to exercise, and consequently lower quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the Más Que Tenis ("More Than Just Tennis") inclusive recreational sports programme on the satisfaction of BPN among athletes with ID, taking into account factors such as age, gender and type of activity.
