This observational study aims to compare physical performance, quality of life, and mental health levels between older adults who participate in hiking at least once a week for at least 6 months and sedentary older adults. The study includes 58 older adults, with 29 participants in the hiking group and 29 participants in the sedentary group. Physical performance, quality of life, and mental health are assessed using standardized assessment tools.
This is a cross-sectional observational study comparing physical performance, quality of life, and mental health levels between older adults who participate in hiking and sedentary older adults.
The study population consists of adults aged 65-74 years, including individuals who participate in hiking and sedentary individuals.
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Age between 65 and 74 years. Participating in hiking at least once a week for the past 6 months. (MMSE) score ≥24.
Sedentary Group:
Age between 65 and 74 years. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥24. No regular recreational physical activity. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short-form score \<600 MET-min/week (inactive level).
Exclusion Criteria:
Diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). under active treatment, except for individuals who have not received cancer treatment for at least 1 year.
A diagnosis of major depression.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Older adults who have participated in hiking at least once a week for the past 6 months.
Sedentary older adults who do not regularly participate in physical activity.
2-Minute Step Test
The 2-Minute Step Test was used to assess physical performance in older adults. Participants were asked to step in place for 2 minutes, raising each knee to a predetermined target height based on the midpoint between the iliac crest and the patella. The number of correctly performed right knee raises reaching the target height during 2 minutes was recorded as the test score. Higher scores indicate better physical performance.
Time frame: At baseline (single assessment)
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test - Single Task
The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was used to assess functional mobility, dynamic balance, and physical performance. Participants were asked to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters at their normal pace, turn, walk back to the starting point, and sit down. The time required to complete the test was recorded in seconds. Shorter completion times indicate better performance.
Time frame: At baseline (single assessment)
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test - Motor Dual Task
The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was performed while participants held a glass filled with water. Participants were asked to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters while carrying the glass, turn, walk back to the starting point, and sit down while safely holding the glass. The time required to complete the test was recorded in seconds. Shorter completion times indicate better performance.
Time frame: At baseline (single assessment)
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test - Motor Dual-Task Cost
Motor dual-task cost was calculated as the percentage change in TUG completion time between the motor dual-task and single-task conditions using the following formula: (Dual-Task Time - Single-Task Time) / Single-Task Time × 100. Lower dual-task cost indicates better dual-task performance.
Time frame: At baseline (single assessment)
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test - Cognitive Dual Task
The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was performed while participants counted backward by threes from 100. Participants were asked to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters while counting backward, turn, walk back to the starting point, and sit down. The time required to complete the test was recorded in seconds. Shorter completion times indicate better performance.
Time frame: At baseline (single assessment)
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test - Cognitive Dual-Task Cost
Cognitive dual-task cost was calculated as the percentage change in TUG completion time between the cognitive dual-task and single-task conditions using the following formula: (Dual-Task Time - Single-Task Time) / Single-Task Time × 100. Lower dual-task cost indicates better dual-task performance.
Time frame: At baseline (single assessment)
World Health Organization Quality of Life - Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD)
The WHOQOL-OLD module was used to assess quality of life in older adults. The questionnaire consists of 24 items across six dimensions: sensory abilities, autonomy, past, present and future activities, social participation, death and dying, and intimacy. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale, and the total score ranges from 24 to 120. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
Time frame: At baseline (single assessment)
Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to assess depressive symptoms in older adults. The inventory consists of 21 items, with each item scored from 0 to 3. The total score ranges from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating greater severity of depressive symptoms.
Time frame: At baseline (single assessment)
