| Research Abstract |
We examined the effects of physical activity on psychophysiological stress and global executive functions in healthy elderly adults."Tension-anxiety","anger-hostility", and"confusion"scores significantly improved after walking compared to those before walking. The changes in salivary alpha-amylase(sAA) activity before and after walking correlated positively with the difference in the number of perseverative errors. In short, it is suggested that walking has beneficial psychological effect, however, too much increase of sAA levels after walking may cause the decline of executive functions in elderly adults.
