Overview

Narrative review highlights exercise interventions improve cognitive function in older adults with MCI, suggesting actionable implications.

Key Points

  • Exercise interventions lead to moderate improvements in cognitive function in older adults, particularly in MCI populations.
  • Structured aerobic exercise improves episodic memory and processing speed, while resistance training enhances executive function.
  • Multicomponent exercise programs outperform single modalities, promoting global cognition and memory in older adults.
  • Future multidisciplinary research is needed to standardize protocols and combine exercise with cognitive training and nutritional support.
