Results: 80% (n=8/10) mentioned that physical exercise is effective in improving cognitive function in older adults. 20% (n=2/10) indicated that physical exercise is not effective in improving cognitive function in older adults. Conclusion: Physical exercise is effective in improving cognitive function in older adults.
