The main objective of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish form of the Enjoyment of Physical Activity Scale-8 (PACES-8) in individuals aged 65 and over with Minimal Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
Being 65 years of age or older,
Having a diagnosis of Minimal Cognitive Impairment (MCI),
Having a Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT) score between 24 and 27 (mild cognitive impairment level),
Being largely independent in daily living activities (absence of functional dependency),
Diagnosis of dementia or advanced cognitive impairment,
Acute medical conditions that prevent participation in physical activity,
Severe vision or hearing loss,
Presence of neurological or psychiatric disorders that prevent completion of questionnaire forms,
Geriatric individuals aged 65 and over who meet the inclusion criteria for the study.

Cross-sectional
Assessments
Other interventionData will be collected after a controlled intervention representing participants' routine physical activity habits. Following the protocol implemented by Çınar-Medeni et al. (2025), participants will be asked to perform a 15-minute moderate-intensity walk (followed by a talk test). Immediately after the activity, the PACES-8 scale will be administered to measure participants' immediate enjoyment levels. To determine test-retest reliability, the PACES-8 scale will be re-administered to 20% of participants (approximately 20 people) 15 days after the initial measurement.
Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale-8 (PACES-8):
This is an 8-item scale originally developed by Mullen et al. (2011) and validated in Turkish in adults by Çınar-Medeni et al. (2025). The scale uses a 7-point Likert-type format, with each item scored from 1 (did not enjoy it at all) to 7 (enjoyed it very much). The total score ranges from a minimum of 8 to a maximum of 56, with higher scores indicating greater enjoyment of physical activity.
International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF):
This questionnaire will be used for criterion validity analysis. The IPAQ-SF assesses self-reported vigorous, moderate, and walking physical activity durations over the past 7 days (Öztürk, 2005). Total physical activity level is calculated in MET-minutes/week, with higher scores indicating greater levels of physical activity. The minimum possible score is 0 MET-minutes/week, and there is no fixed maximum, as scores are continuous and vary based on activity duration and intensity.
