Overview

Systematic review and network meta-analysis indicate resistance and mind–body exercises enhance executive function in dementia.

Key Points

  • Resistance exercise ranked first in enhancing executive function among older adults with dementia.
  • Network meta-analysis included 24 randomized controlled trials evaluating physical activity effects.
  • Mind–body exercises also significantly improved executive function, ranking second in effectiveness.
  • Results suggest the need for personalized physical activity programs tailored to individual characteristics.
