Materials and Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design with a control group according to the applied purpose and its method. The statistical population of the study included all elderly women in Babol in 1400. 30 people were selected as a sample according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly replaced in the experimental and control groups. Lipad quality of life questionnaires, general self-efficacy (GSE), immune system status questionnaire (ISQ) were used to collect data. In the next stage, exercise was performed in 6 sessions for the experimental group. At the end of the sessions, questionnaires were administered to both experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed with SPSS26 software.
Findings: The results of analysis of covariance showed that in terms of quality of life, immune system status and self-efficacy in the post-test phase, there is a significant difference between groups and it can be said that physical activity (walking) on safety status, self-efficacy and quality Life has been effective in elderly women (P <0.05).
Conclusion: Physical activity (walking) plays an important role in quality of life, immune system status and self-efficacy and targeting this variable can be effective in improving quality of life, immune system status and self-efficacy.
