In the last decade, a number of intervention studies have investigated the effects of aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and multicomponent interventions on cognitive function and brain health in adults with and without cognitive impairment.
The secondary aims are to determine the immediate, six and 12-month efficacy of the same intervention on cognitive function and adherence to treatment for CVD.
Using a randomized interventional design, we evaluated the effect of combined omega-3 FA supplementation, aerobic exercise and cognitive stimulation (target intervention) versus omega-3 FA supplementation and non-aerobic exercise (control intervention) on cognitive function and gray matter volume in patients with MCI.
Here, we describe the design of the Intense Physical Activity and Cognition (IPAC) study, which will assess the impact of a 6-month high-intensity exercise intervention on cognitive function and biomarkers of dementia risk, compared with a 6-month moderate-intensity exercise intervention and control group (no study-related exercise).
Repeated-measure analysis of variance (group × time) was performed to assess the effects of intervention on cognitive function and physical performance.
In this study, we explored the potential health benefit of a novel, momentum-based dumbbell-training intervention on cognitive function in older adults with MCI.
No RCT has been conducted with sufficient size and duration to assess the long-term impact of a PA intervention on cognitive function.
To test the effectiveness of the physical activity intervention on cognitive function, a series 2x2 mixed ANCOVAs will be carried out controlling for age and menopausal status (controlling for natural differences in cognitive function associated with age and menopausal status).
In conclusion, results from this preliminary study demonstrated that a 12-week, momentum-based dumbbell-training intervention improved cognitive function, especially global cognitive function, in older adults with MCI.
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of an innovative momentum-based dumbbell-training intervention on cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
