New study aims to validate turkish enjoyment scale for active seniors with memory concerns
NCT ID NCT07588685
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks if a Turkish version of the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES-8) works well for adults aged 65 and older who have mild cognitive impairment. Researchers will ask 100 participants to take a 15-minute walk and then fill out the scale. They will also retest some participants after 15 days to see if the results are consistent. The goal is to provide a reliable way to measure enjoyment of physical activity in this group, which could help promote exercise in older adults.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable tool to measure how much older adults with mild cognitive impairment enjoy physical activity, helping design better exercise programs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage validation study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all older adults. It does not test any treatment or health outcome.
