Abstract

Background: Previous reviews and meta-analysis have shown that physical activity has positive effects on cognition in healthy elderly as well as in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment, even if with a minor effect whereas less is known about the effectiveness of aerobic exercise in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to systematically review the evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) designed to evaluate aerobic exercise effects upon cognition in AD patients.

Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science and DARE databases were analytically searched for RCTs including aerobic exercise interventions for AD patients.

Results: There is scarce evidence that aerobic exercise improves cognition in AD patients. Overall, the included studies reported only positive effects for patients'global cognition after intervention, mainly due to a lack of accurate neuropsychological assessment of each cognitive domain. Whether the bene ts of exercise are evident in all stages of AD pathology remain also uncertain.

Conclusions: Standardized protocols, larger and more rigorous RCTs with long-term follow-ups may provide better insight into the effects of aerobic exercise on cognitive deterioration characterizing people with AD.

有氧运动对阿尔茨海默病认知的影响:随机对照试验的系统综述。

背景:先前的综述和荟萃分析表明，体育活动对健康老年人和轻度认知障碍患者的认知有积极影响，即使影响很小，而有氧运动对阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者的有效性知之甚少。目的:本研究的目的是系统地回顾随机对照试验(RCTs)的证据，这些试验旨在评估有氧运动对AD患者认知能力的影响。方法:分析检索PubMed、Cochrane、Web of Science和DARE数据库中包含有氧运动干预AD患者的随机对照试验。结果:有氧运动能改善AD患者认知能力的证据较少。总的来说，纳入的研究仅报告了干预后对患者整体认知的积极影响，主要是由于缺乏对每个认知领域的准确神经心理学评估。运动的益处是否在阿尔茨海默病病理的所有阶段都很明显仍不确定。结论:标准化的方案，更大规模和更严格的随机对照试验，长期随访，可以更好地了解有氧运动对AD患者认知功能减退的影响。
