“…For simple motor reaction time, the results found showed clear differences between the children from KAR group when compared to children from CON at all ages since they responded more quickly to the stimulus than the CON children, a fact that is corroborated by Antunes (2006). These findings suggest that Karate improves stimulus perception, information processing, planning and the emission of a motor response that is appropriate to the stimulus that may explain our results.…”

Abstract:Problem: executive functions refer to the subject's ability to engage in goal-oriented behavior, performing voluntary, independent, self-organized and goal-directed actions, indeed, the general physical training, and the sports can enhance this functions, studys to determinate the effect of martial arts upon the executive functions in childrens are rare. Objective: to identify if the Karatekas has best executive functions that non karatekas. Methods: 66 volunteers were selected, including 36 male karatekas and a comparison group consisting of 30 non Karateka and non regular physical activity, with a mean of age of 11.26 + 0.95 years. The reaction time test and Stroop Test were used. The analysis of variance ANOVA TREE WAY with Dunnett's Post Test set up at 5% was used. Results: in reaction time for all ages, the Karatekas performed better; however, for selective attention and problem solving, 11-year-old karate children did not perform better, while for the other ages, the karate students were faster. Conclusions: Karate is an efficient tool for improving the executive functions of children from 8 to 11 years of age.

“…Studies show that physical activity improves the quality of life among elderly practitioners, and thus plays a positive role in the improvement of aging (19) , insofar as individuals considered active and moderately active are at lower risk of suffering from mental problems than sedentary ones, thereby reinforcing the fact that physical exercise has many benefits and contributes to physical well-being and mental health (20) . These remarks apply to the group studied, since most of them (52.0%) reported practising some form of physical activity.…”

The objective of this descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional study was to evaluate the cognition of elderly individuals. The sample consisted of 350 people aged ≥ 60 years. Instruments: sociodemographic and health questionnaire and MEEM. The sample contained 60.0% women, mean age of 70.3 years, 54.0% had an incomplete primary education, 61.1% were married and the mean income was 1.54 minimum salaries (MS). Of the participants, 38.6% perceived their current health state as regular; 49.4% considered it to be the same as the last year; 37.4% believed that they were better than people of the same age. MEEM: among the 76 individuals without education, it was found that 5.3% presented cognitive decline, in the 265 participants with low and medium education 4.9%, among those with superior education (9) no cognitive decline was identified. The lowest means found referred to the memory and attention domains. It was also found that 4.9% (17) of the elderly may be developing cognitive impairment. La muestra se constituía de 60,0% de mujeres, edad promedio 70,3 años, 54,0% con educación básica incompleta, 61,1% casados y renta media de 1,54 SM. El 38,6% percibió el actual estado de salud como regular, 49,4% lo consideraban igual al del año anterior, 37,4 creían estar mejor que personas de su misma edad. MEEM: entre los 76 no escolarizados se encontró un 5,3% con declinación cognitiva, entre los 265 con baja y media escolarización, 4,9%; entre los de nivel superior (9) no se encontró. Los menores promedios encontrados respondieron a los dominios memoria y atención. El 4,9% (17) de los ancianos podría estar desarrollando déficit cognitivo.

“…When there is an imbalance between neuronal injuries and repairs, neuronal capacity is impaired, leading to cerebral aging and in some cases, dementia. 6 The nervous system is not the only system to experience a decline in function during the aging process. Postural balance is the result of harmonious interaction between the vestibular, visual and somatosensory (musculoskeletal) systems.…”

Objective: To assess the relationship between cognitive function, balance, risk of falls and functionality in elderly persons with impaired cognitive function and verify if those with mild cognitive impairment had better balance, functionality and a lower risk of falls than those with dementia. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study of 33 elderly persons of both genders, aged over 60 years, were evaluated using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR) and Barthel Index. Four groups were considered: mild cognitive impairment (MCI; n=9), mild dementia (MID; n=12), moderate dementia (MOD; n=7) and severe dementia (SD; n=5). Data comparison was performed by the Mann Whitney U-test and correlation by Spearman's rank Correlation Coefficient, whit a significance level of ( p<0.05). Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the risk of falls and functionality between the MID and MOD groups, functionality between the MOD and SD groups, and balance, functionality and risk of falls between the MID and SD groups. A moderate correlation between MMSE and BBS (r=0.543; p=0.006) was observed in the MCI group, and a moderate negative correlation between p<0.001) and a strong correlation between MMSE and Barthel (r=0.708; p<0.001) were observed in the dementia group. Conclusion: The deterioration in cognitive function was associated with greater impairment of functionality, balance and an increased risk of falls in elderly persons with dementia, compared to elderly subjects with mild cognitive impairment.
