Abstract

Higher level of life satisfaction has related with many positive psychological and physical health related outcomes among older women. The current study looks on how physical exercise and life pleasure are linked in women over the age of 60 years.  Data was obtained from 400 older women using a demographic questionnaire, life satisfaction scale and the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). The findings from simple linear regression analysis revealed that score of IPAQ significantly predicted satisfaction with life. These results suggested that more women older adults engaged in physical activity, the more satisfied they were with their life. Finally, the study shed light on the connection between physical exercise and life fulfilment. Participants who engaged in more physical exercise give an account of excessive levels of life contentment. However, further study with great with greater samples are required to improve the observable of these findings.
