Abstract (EN)
With the increase in the elderly population, health problems and quality of life associated with old age are becoming increasingly important. The aging process comes with physical and mental changes and is often accompanied by various health and physical limitations. Therefore, it is important to develop effective strategies to improve the health and quality of life of older individuals. This study aims to examine the effects of exercise programs on body composition and some motoric characteristics of individuals aged 65 years and older. The main aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise programs for elderly individuals and the effect of these programs on the quality of life of elderly individuals. For this purpose, the effects of exercise on body composition and motoric characteristics of elderly individuals will be examined in detail. The results of this study may contribute to the planning and implementation of effective interventions to improve the health and quality of life of older adults. In the first part of the study, a general description of the aging process and an overview of the health problems associated with aging will be presented. Then, a literature review on the importance and effects of exercise programs for older adults will be examined. This literature review will emphasize the positive effects of exercise on the physical and psychological health of older adults and will form the basis of the study. In the second part of the study, the theoretical framework will be presented. In this section, topics such as the relationship between aging process and physical activity, body composition and aging, and the role of motoric characteristics on aging will be discussed. This theoretical framework will provide the conceptual framework underpinning the study and provide a better understanding of the research. In the third part of the study, methods and research design will be explained. In this section, the population of the study consists of male and female individuals over theage of 65 living in a nursing home in Kastamonu Center. The sample group consists of 32 men over the age of 65. Of these, 17 were in the experimental group and 15 were in the control group. The selection of the individuals participating in the study, data collection methods, measurement tools used and statistical analysis will be explained in detail. This section will clarify the methodological approach and analysis process of the study and increase the reliability of the study. In the fourth part of the study, the findings will be presented. In this part, the effect of the exercise program on body composition and motoric characteristics will be evaluated and statistically analyzed. The findings will present the main conclusions of the study and will be related to the theoretical framework discussed in the previous chapters. In the fifth part of the study, discussion and interpretation of the findings will be made. In this section, the findings will be compared with the literature and important findings will be highlighted. In addition, recommendations regarding the scope and results of the study and suggestions for future studies will be presented. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise programs applied to elderly individuals and the effect of these programs on the quality of life of elderly individuals. The results of this study will contribute to the planning and implementation of effective interventions to improve the health and quality of life of older individuals.
