Did your doctor get you recovered enough to enjoy the activities you want to do? Remember, IT IS YOUR DOCTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. Don't let them weasel their way out by suggesting it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Mine didn't, I can't ride a two wheel bike, I can't do whitewater canoeing.
The effects of perceived enjoyment of activities on cognition in late-life
Clinical Gerontologist — Gardner HD, Strong JV, Mast BT, et al. | March 30, 2020
Via performing a cross-sectional study, researchers determined the
connection between both frequency and perceived enjoyment of leisure
activities and cognitive scores. Self-reported frequency and perceived
pleasure of leisure activities were obtained from 58 healthy,
community-dwelling older adults who were administered a battery of
cognitive tests that assessed all major domains: verbal memory,
executive functioning, attention, language, and visuospatial ability.
Perceived pleasantness or enjoyment of Socializing and Being Effective
were predictive of higher scores on attention tests, processing speed,
and language. In Being Effective and Doing subscales, frequency of
activity participation predicted lower scores on executive functioning
tasks. Overall, frequency and perceived enjoyment of some activities
appear to be associated with cognition in later life.
