Many reviews have generally concluded that physical activity is associated with reduced anxiety, reduced depression, improved mood states, enhanced health-related quality of life in the elderly and various patient populations, improved physical and general self-worth, improved sleep, reduced reactivity to psychosocial stressor and improved cognitive function in all populations including older adults.
Collectively, these findings suggest that individuals who are physically active, besides lowering their risk of premature death or chronic disease and physical disability, should experience a sense of psychological well-being.
