“…A comparison with other findings for this test is difficult due to varying test times (5×, 30 s, 60 s), intervention design as well as age and health status. Compared with a significant improvement in performance of six repetitions in 30 s over 12 weeks [76], our results are considerably worse and not matchable. Other results of younger participants (median age: 67 years) with mild cognitive impairment are comparable to the performance of the CG participants in our sample [77].…”

“…A significant improvement was only observed for the IG participants, while the time-to-group interaction effect narrowly missed the significance threshold. Various studies have shown that memory functions in community-dwelling OAs can be positively influenced by 12-week multicomponent exercise programmes that include cognitive training, e.g., [ 76 , 98 , 99 ]. It can be assumed that the baseline difference between the groups resulted in a lack of improvement in the memory performance of the individuals who were physically and cognitively trained.…”

“…Thus, the IG participants' neurocognitive performance measured by TMT B was able to match that of the CG participants but was still above the norm values in both parts of the TMT. The highly inferior results of the CG compared to the norm are attributable to the difference in age group of the IG (age group [70][71][72][73][74] and the CG (age group [75][76][77][78][79]. A high standard deviation was found in particular in the TMT B results of the IG at T1.…”

Physical and cognitive exercises can prevent or at least mitigate the symptoms of certain diseases and help older adults perform a range of daily functions. Yet, most seniors do not meet the World Health Organisation’s recommended guidelines for physical activity. The objective of this study is to promote and maintain the physical and cognitive capacity of older adults by implementing a feasible and effective low-threshold, age-appropriate, motor–cognitive training outdoors. In the German city of Chemnitz, citizens aged 60 years and older participated in a quasi-randomised intervention trial. Exercises to train coordination, strength, endurance, and cognition were integrated into a 12-week outdoor motor–cognitive exercise programme. Both the physical (e.g., 6MWT) and cognitive skills (e.g., TMT B) of the intervention group (n = 41) and control group (no intervention, n = 58) were measured before (T1) and after (T2) completion of the exercise programme. Some of the participants’ physical and all their cognitive measures improved. Neurocognitive performance (DSST) showed a significant time × group interaction effect (F(1,95) = 6.943, p = 0.010, ηp2 = 0.068). Sex and age were found to be influencing factors. We consider our exercise programme to be successfully implemented, well received by the participants, and feasible and useful to promote the continued exercise of daily functions as part of healthy aging in community-dwelling older adults.

Several therapies have been developed to reduce cognitive decline associated with aging. Aquatic exercises, which are widely used to enhance functional capacity, may play a role in stimulating cognitive functions. This study investigated the effects of a 3-month aquatic exercise program on cognitive functions in community-dwelling older adults. In this prospective, single-blinded, controlled clinical trial, 31 participants were allocated to either the experimental (aquatic exercises) or control (no-exercise) group. The intervention program consisted of exercises conducted twice a week in a 1.2 m deep indoor pool. The main outcome measures were cognitive functions, assessed using Raven’s Progressive Matrices test and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. A repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to assess the impact of the exercise program. The effect sizes (η2p) were reported when a level of significance was achieved (p < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the participants who underwent aquatic exercises showed positive outcomes in Raven’s Progressive Matrices test (p = 0.046; η2p = 0.131) and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (p = 0.001, η2p = 0.589). Complementary analyses of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test indicated that the benefits of the aquatic exercise were observed in terms of the number of trials (p = 0.001, η2p = 0.478), number of errors (p = 0.001, η2p = 0.458), and number of non-perseverative errors (p = 0.001, η2p = 0.302). The results indicate that a period of three months of aquatic exercise was beneficial for stimulating specific aspects of the cognitive function of community-dwelling older individuals. Aquatic exercise should be prescribed to this population.
