With the acceleration of population aging, the health issues of the elderly are receiving increasing attention. This paper takes Wuhou District in Chengdu City as an example to explore the impact and mechanism of exercise on health cognition among the elderly. Through literature review and field research, the current situation and characteristics of elderly people's participation in sports in Wuhou District were analyzed. This paper combines the theory of the relationship between cognitive function and exercise to explore the potential impact mechanism of exercise on cognitive function in the elderly, including the positive effects of physical exercise on brain function, nervous system, and mental health. This study proposes recommendations to promote health awareness among the elderly in Wuhou District through various means such as policy support, community activities, and health education.
