“…Prior studies on Aβ and exercise intensity in elderly females reported a significant decrease in Aβ after participants performed Taekwondo Poomsae at 50-75% HRR for 60 min per session three times a week for 12 weeks [35], a decrease in the Aβ index after participants performed a combination of physical stimulation and walking exercises at 60-70% of maximum heart rate for 45-60 min per session for 24 weeks [36], and a decrease in Aβ after participants performed combined aerobic and anaerobic exercises at 50-70% intensity of target heart rate for 60 min per session three times a week for 12 weeks [22].…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of circuit training on β-amyloid, BDNF, and cognitive function in untrained obese elderly Korean women. Methods: The subjects for the study were aged 65–70 years and were each assigned to a circuit training group (EG, n = 12) or a control group (CG, n = 11). The 60 min combined exercise was performed 3 times per week for 16 weeks. The exercise intensity was progressively increased from a 40% heart rate reserve to a 70% heart rate reserve. The test data were analyzed using a paired t-test, an independent t-test, and a two-way repeated measures ANOVA, and an alpha level of 0.05 was set for all tests of significance. Results: Group-by-time interaction effects were observed for β-amyloid (p < 0.05), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (p < 0.01), and cognitive function (p < 0.05). Within the exercise group, significant differences were found in β-amyloid (p < 0.05), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (p < 0.001), and cognitive function (p < 0.05) when comparing across different time points. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences between groups in post-exercise β-amyloid (p < 0.05), change in β-amyloid (p < 0.05), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (p < 0.01), and cognitive function (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Therefore, it is suggested that the circuit training used in this study could be an effective exercise method for improving the risk factors of cognitive impairment in obese elderly Korean women.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of circuit training on β-amyloid, BDNF, and cognitive function in untrained obese elderly Korean women. The subjects for the study were aged 65–70 years, composed of the circuit training group(n=12) and control group(n=11). The 60-minute combined exercise was performed 3 times per week for 16 weeks. Exercise intensity was progressively increased from 40% HRR to 70% HRR. The test data were analyzed by paired t-test, independent t-test, and two-way repeated measures ANOVA, and the alpha level of .05 was set for all tests of significance. The findings of this study were as follows: β-amyloid significantly decreased after the exercise group had compared to before the exercise and BDNF and cognitive function significantly increased after the exercise group had compared to before the exercise. However, there were no significant changes in β-amyloid, BDNF, and cognitive function in the control group Therefore, it is suggested that the circuit training used in this study could be an effective exercise method for improving the risk factors of cognitive impairment in obese elderly Korean women.

“…One of the social and environmental approaches to prevention and management of dementia is to apply exercise programs as much as possible. Recently, activity programs have received much attention; these programs aim to bring about behavioral changes and improvements in quality of life by increasing physical and mental functions through regular and systematic physical movements 2 ) . Regular exercise is extremely important for patients with dementia 3 ) , because it can activate brain metabolism, increase secretion of cerebral blood flow and neuro-transmitters 4 ) , and prevent damage in the internal blood vessel walls by increasing elasticity of the blood vessel walls 5 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a physical activity program on cognitive function and ADLs in elderly people with mild dementia. [Subjects and Methods] Both groups (n=60) participated in a cognition program three times a week for 30 minutes each time over an eight-week period. In addition, the experimental group (n=30) underwent a physical activity program for 30 minutes three times a week over an eight-week period. The LOTCA-G and the FIM were recorded in both groups before and after the experiment to evaluate changes in their cognition and ADLs. [Results] The experimental group showed significant results in 18 subtests and total LOTCA-G, while the control group exhibited significant results in 8 subtests and total LOTCA-G. The comparison results between groups before and after the intervention are as follows. The experimental group showed significant results in 15 subtests and FIM total, while the control group exhibited significant results in 7 subtests and FIM total. The comparison results between groups before and after the intervention are as follows: significant results were revealed in 10 subtests and FIM total. [Conclusion] The physical activity program improves cognitive function and ADLs in patients with mild dementia.
