It synthesizes existing literature to highlight the significant benefits of regular physical activity on academic performance, mental well-being, and professional development among healthcare students.

Methodology: a comprehensive review of existing literature from peer-reviewed journals, databases, and relevant sources to examine the impact of physical activity on cognition, behavior, and attention in healthcare students of Delhi NCR. Studies encompassing diverse methodologies, including experimental, observational, and intervention-based designs.

Result: The subjects had to be cognitively unimpaired and at age 55+ (the age was set for 55+ years since within this paper people above 55 years old are included in the group of ‘older people’. Although this may seem illogical, as they mostly are active and working persons, their cognitive (learning) operations require approaches specific to this age group, i.e., adult learning.

Conclusion: The present study investigated the effects of a structured physical activity program on cognition, behavior, and attention among healthcare students in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR).
