| Annotation | Exercise benefits older people and may improve their functional independence. The Model of Human Occupation proposes that functioning effectively is related to volition. This study aimed at clarifying the relationship between the occupation of exercise, functional abilities, and volition. Subjects included 48 over 60s living at home, and divided into three groups based on physical and sedentary activities. The study used the Functional Status Index (FSI) to measure occupational function and the Occupational Self Assessment (OSA) to measure volition. Results indicate that older people who reported regular exercise functioned more independently. (RH). |
