Both physical fitness and aspects of cognitive
Research gap analysis derived from 4 chemistry papers in our local library.
The gap
Although both physical fitness and aspects of cognitive functioning are known to be poorer among older people, there is conflicting evidence about the interaction between age and fitness.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the stated research gap and abstract of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 1975 and 1993, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 61 times in total.

- Age, isometric knee extension strength, and fractionated resisted response time (1978) · Experimental Aging Research · doi
There is a need to investigate the effects of age and physical activity on strength and response time. Prior work has not fully explored the relationship between age, physical activity, and motor function.
generalstated research gapKeywords: there need investigate effects age physical activity strength - Reaction and Movement Time as a Function of age and Physical Activity Level (1975) · Journal of Gerontology · doi
The study identifies a gap in the understanding of the effect of age and physical activity level on reaction and movement time in men. The study aims to fill this gap by comparing the performance of four groups: older active sportsmen, older nonactive men, young active sportsmen, and young nonactive men.
