Abstract
The model project entitled Successful Aging refers to the change in the attitude of society towards old age and an attempt to increase the quality of life during this period. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of aerobic exercises on the resilience and life expectancy of older women. The research method was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study was all older women in Andimeshk in the first half of 1404. The sample size of the study included 30 older people (65 to 75 years old) who were selected using purposive sampling and based on the study entry criteria and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received aerobic exercises for eight weeks, three 60-minute sessions per week. The scales used in this study included Connor and Davidson's Resilience Scale and Schneider's Life Expectancy Scale. The data were analyzed by univariate analysis of covariance using SPSS version 22 software. The results showed that by controlling the pre-test effect in the post-test phase, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the variables of resilience and life expectancy (p<0.001). According to the findings of this study, aerobic exercise improves the resilience and life expectancy of older women and represents new horizons in psychological interventions and can be used as an effective intervention method in improving the resilience and life expectancy of older women.
