In this study the rate of FEV1 showed significant differences between active and sedentary elderly, with p less than 0.05, the FVC and SpO2 were not much difference between the two groups. The results of the sub-scales MSEQ level of memory self-efficacy (NAE) and strength of memory self-efficacy (FAE) between the groups were statistically significant (p less than 0.05).

MSEQ the results of the questionnaires revealed that the active group had a greater number of statistically significant variables, namely P = 0.70 for more sedentary as compared to group. Regarding MIA the active group showed a significant correlation between FEV1 and FVC and Control and Control.
