Overview

Systematic review examines exercise impact on cognition in older adults, indicating various benefits across cognitive domains.

Key Points

  • Regular exercise improves cognitive function in older adults, with various types yielding distinct benefits.
  • Aerobic training enhances global cognition significantly, achieving effect sizes between 0.28 and 0.76.
  • Resistance training shows significant positive effects on executive function, with an SMD of up to 0.80.
  • Incorporating structured exercise into public health guidelines may help maintain cognitive health in ageing populations.
