“…Evers et al (2011) showed that healthy older women in an intensive physical activity program (3-time weekly 90-minute training for six months) outperformed the control group in cognitive performance. Angevaren et al (2010) observed an association between the increase in average intensity of physical activities and fast cognitive information processing speed in a 5-year longitudinal cohort study. Taken together, these findings further underscore the importance of maintaining high LTPA to reduce the risk of cognitive decline.…”

The impact of physical activity on cognitive function in older adults from minority and disadvantaged populations is not well understood. This study examined the longitudinal association between physical activity and cognition in older Mexican Americans. The study methodology included a prospective cohort with longitudinal analysis of data from the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiological Study of the Elderly. General linear mixed models were used to assess the associations and interactions between physical activity and cognitive function over 14 years. Community-based assessments were performed in participants’ homes. Physical activity was recorded for 1,669 older Mexican Americans using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly. Cognition was measured by the Mini Mental State Exam, and separated into memory and non-memory components. A statistically significant positive association was observed between levels of physical activity and cognitive function after adjusting for age, sex, marital status, education and comorbid health conditions. The interaction between physical activity and time was significant for individuals in the third (β=0.11, SE=0.05) and fourth (β=0.10, SE=0.2) quartiles of physical activity compared to those in the first. The protective effect of physical activity on cognitive decline was evident for the memory component of the MMSE, but not the non-memory component after adjusting for covariates. Greater physical activity at baseline was associated with reduced cognitive decline over 14 years in older Mexican Americans. The reduction in cognitive decline appeared to be related to the memory components of cognitive function.

“…A meta-analysis showed that sedentary people can enhance their cognitive functioning, especially executive functions, by exercise training (Colcombe and Kramer , 2003 ) which indicates that these people are not performing at their highest cognitive level with a sedentary lifestyle. The opposite direction has also been observed: people who decrease the intensity of their physical activities show a faster cognitive decline compared to those who have a stable intensity level (van Gelder et al , 2004 ;Angevaren et al , 2010 ).…”

Animals living in an impoverished environment, i.e., without the possibility of physical and social activity, perform worse on cognitive tests compared to animals in an enriched environment. The same cognitive difference is also observed in humans. However, it is not clear whether this difference is caused by a decrease in cognition due to an impoverished environment or an increase due to an enriched environment. This review discusses the impact of an impoverished environment on cognition in animal experimental studies and human experimental studies with community-dwelling and institutionalized older people. Results show that the cognitive functioning of old rats is more affected by an impoverished environment than young rats. Similarly, sedentary and lonely people (impoverished environment) have worse cognitive functioning and show a faster cognitive decline than physically and socially active people. Institutionalization further aggravates cognitive decline, probably due to the impoverished environment of nursing homes. In institutions, residents spend an unnecessary and excessive amount of time in bed; out of bed they show mainly sedentary or completely passive behavior. In conclusion, older people, especially those that have been institutionalized, have poor levels of physical and social activity, which in turn has a negative impact on cognitive functioning.
