The participation in physical activity.
The total score of physical activity (A), average score of physical activities at work (B), average score of transportation activity (C), and average score of leisure-time physical activity (D) between the pre- and post-test within the same group. The difference of total physical activity scores among the groups (E). * ≤ 0.05 vs. within the same group, # ≤ 0.05 vs. between groups. CI = cognitive impairment, PA = physical activity.

The physical functional capacity.
The results of physical functioning included arterial oxygen saturation (SPO2) (A), heart rate (B), and 6-MWT distance (6-MWD) (C) between the pre- and post-test within the same group. The difference of 6-MWD among the groups (D). * ≤ 0.05 vs. within the same group. 6-MWD = 6-minute walk distance, CI = cognitive impairment, PA = physical activity.
Fig 4.
The level of cognitive function.
The MoCA scores between the pre- and post-test within the same group (A). The difference of MoCA score among the groups (B). * ≤ 0.05 vs. within the same group, # ≤ 0.05 vs. between groups. MoCA = Montreal Cognitive Assessment, CI = cognitive impairment, PA = physical activity.
Fig 5.
The level of depression. The PHQ-9 scores between the pre- and post-test within the same group (A). The difference of PHQ-9 scores among the groups (B). * ≤ 0.05 vs. within the same group, # ≤ 0.05 vs. between groups. PHQ-9 = Patient Health Questionnaire-9, CI = cognitive impairment, PA = physical activity.
