Introduction:The most prevalent symptom related to the Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the impairment in the Working Memory (WM), and the physical exercise display effectiveness, although, limited. Objective: To investigate the effect of physical exercise (PE) on working memory of older adults with memory impairment due to Alzheimer's disease. Methods: Forty-four subjects, all with Alzheimer's disease diagnose were divided into two groups (CG) that received only classical treatment, and Exercise Intervention Group (EIG) that received physical exercise plus classical treatment. The working memory was investigated before and after three months of intervention. The statistical procedure was conducted by Kruskal-Wallis with DUNN'S post hoc test, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The CG group display decrease in the WM, however, and EIG showed increasing in the WM performance. Conclusion: PE improves the WM of older adults with memory impairment due to Alzheimer's disease.

This systematic review addresses physical exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment for high blood pressure. disposing of what hypertension is, its etiology and the effects of exercise, aiming to capture information on the performance of exercise in hypertensive subjects. It is a literature review in five databases: Virtual Health Library (VHL), Pubmed, Medline, Periodicals and Scielo. Descriptors: Hypertension, physical exercise and physical activity. Initially, 117 potentially relevant titles distributed were found. After the identification, screening and eligibility process, the systematic review included 17 articles. Aerobic, resistance and resistance exercises are active in reducing the levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), double product (DP), mean blood pressure (MAP) and postexercise hypotension (PEH), promoting benefits for the control of arterial hypertension (AH) and its complications and eventual correlated diseases. From the results found, it is concluded that the non-pharmacological treatment is composed of aerobic, functional, rhythmic, resistance, running on a treadmill and swimming pool with adequate durations, volumes, frequencies and intensities to generate physiological adaptations they are effective to generate control and/or decrease in the pressure levels of SBP, DBP, HR, DP values and even provide PEH.
