چکیده مقاله:

Introduction: Cognitive decline is a common consequence of aging, often affecting motor memory, which plays a critical role in performing daily activities. Impaired motor memory may reduce independence and quality of life among older adults. This study aimed to compare motor memory performance in physically active and inactive elderly individuals and to examine the potential role of physical activity in enhancing motor-related cognitive functions. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in Sabzevar city, Iran, in ۲۰۲۲. A total of ۱۱۰ elderly individuals aged over ۶۰ years were selected using convenience sampling based on specific inclusion criteria. Participants were divided into two groups—active and inactive—according to their responses to the Sherki Standard Physical Activity Questionnaire. Data collection tools included the Edinburgh Handedness Questionnaire (to assess dominant hand), the Sherki Standard Physical Activity Questionnaire (to determine physical activity levels), the Linear Movement Device (LM-۰۱) (to measure motor performance), and a Motor Memory Test, in which participants were asked to perform linear hand movements over short and long distances. The number of movement errors was recorded as an indicator of motor memory performance. Results: The analysis revealed statistically significant differences in motor memory performance between the physically active and inactive elderly groups. Specifically, for the short-distance movement task, participants in the active group demonstrated significantly fewer errors than their inactive counterparts (Z = -۶.۱۲۹, p < ۰.۰۰۱). The long-distance movement task, the active elderly group again outperformed the inactive group, showing fewer errors (Z = -۸.۱۸۶, p < ۰.۰۰۱). Conclusion: The results suggest that regular physical activity is associated with improved motor memory performance in older adults. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating physical activity programs into geriatric care to help maintain cognitive and motor function, promote independence, and enhance overall quality of life in aging populations.
