Impact of a supervised multicomponent physical exercise program on cognitive functions in patients with type 2 diabetes

Changes in Cognitive Function and in the Levels of Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) in Older Women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Subjected to a Cardiorespiratory Exercise Programme

“…However, after the intervention period, the EG improved its MMSE score significantly (p < 0.001), almost reaching 24 points, with a large effect size. It has recently been reported that a multi-component physical exercise program did not improve cognitive function in participants with type 2 diabetes, perhaps because of the characteristics of the exercises program and the methodology design [63]. However, our results agree with several recent studies that reported improvements in cognitive deterioration in older women who carried out an aerobic exercise programme [64][65][66][67].…”

“…On the other hand, the experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in all the dimensions of the MMSE, except in calculation and language (Table 3); however, when compared to the control group, significant differences were found between the two groups in the five dimensions and the opposite behaviour of these variables in the two groups (Table 5 and Figure 3). Although some authors have reported that the effect of exercise does not improve the cognitive level in all dimensions [63,68], the scientific literature shows a large amount of recent evidence on the improvement of the cognitive state in older adults after carrying out different types of physical exercise programs [69][70][71]. Thus, specifically older adults with type 2 diabetes, undergoing structured physical training, have shown improvements in aspects of cognitive function such as concentration and attention [72].…”

36 weeks of Multicomponent Training Reverse Strength Sequels in Mastectomy Arm, Improves Functional Fitness and Quality of Life of Breast Cancer Survivors: A Machine Learning-Assisted Experimental Trial

“…In fact, LLS is a relevant ability for good performance in daily life activities of BC survivors; however, both the disease and the subsequent treatment act weaken the patients, namely reducing LLS, and as a result, they end up limiting the ability to move, which compromises the realization of the ADLs, besides increasing the risk of falls [47] . Interventions with MCT have been effective in improving LLS in different populations, such as physically independent elders [48,49] , frail elders [50] , patients with diabetes [51] , and patients with lung cancer [52] . In addition, an MCT intervention with remote training guidance caused improvements in LLS in BC survivors, which contributed to rehabilitating the FF of the participants [53] .…”

Exercício físico e redução da resistência à insulina em indivíduos portadores de Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2: uma revisão bibliográfica

“…Outro ponto a ser destacado é que o exercício físico não funciona apenas como ferramenta no tratamento da diabetes, mas também é tida como uma estratégia de saúde pública na prevenção de diversas doenças crônicas, não somente da DM2. É importante destacar que em muitos estudos realizados o exercício físico obteve efeitos positivos sobre as habilidades cognitivas dos pacientes acometidos com DM2, isso devido a liberação de fatores de crescimento neurotróficos (Leite et al, 2020).…”
