Abstract
People with higher levels of physical activity report enhanced mental health (Law et al. 2014). In contrast, low levels of exercise can in turn lead to waning of physical and mental health, along with a decreased social network, as sedentary behaviours become the norm (Valencia, Stoutenberg & Florez, 2014). This is particularly so in older people.
