Benefits of physical activity on cognitive function in patients with neurocognitive disorders: A systematic review.
Neurocognitive disorders, particularly in older adults, significantly affect functional abilities and global health. Physical activity has emerged as a potential non-pharmacological intervention to improve cognitive performance in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. This review specifically addressed the issue of tailored physical activity interventions for individuals with various neurocognitive disorders. This literature review analyzed studies investigating the effects of physical activity on cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular cognitive impairment, Parkinson's disease, and Lewy body dementia. The studies were evaluated for methodological rigor, participant characteristics, types of physical activities, and cognitive outcomes. Of the 21 studies reviewed, 14 reported beneficial effects of physical exercise on cognitive function, particularly with aerobic activities. While most studies observed improvements in cognitive performance and physical functional capacity, results were inconsistent, and effect sizes were modest. Mechanisms proposed for cognitive improvement in AD included reductions in β-amyloid and tau protein burdens, improved glucose metabolism, and enhanced brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels. Specific improvements were noted in Parkinson's disease, with evidence suggesting mediation through dopamine pathways. Despite evidence of short-term benefits, significant variability exists among studies, highlighting the need for individualized exercise programs tailored to specific neurocognitive conditions. Physical activity stands as a cornerstone non-pharmacological intervention, essential for supporting cognitive health in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases. Further research is necessary to establish long-term effects and optimal exercise modalities, along with standardized evaluation criteria to assess the cognitive impacts of physical activity reliably.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Frailty & Aging is a peer-reviewed international journal aimed at presenting articles that are related to research in the area of aging and age-related (sub)clinical conditions. In particular, the journal publishes high-quality papers describing and discussing social, biological, and clinical features underlying the onset and development of frailty in older persons. The Journal of Frailty & Aging is composed by five different sections: - Biology of frailty and aging In this section, the journal presents reports from preclinical studies and experiences focused at identifying, describing, and understanding the subclinical pathophysiological mechanisms at the basis of frailty and aging. - Physical frailty and age-related body composition modifications Studies exploring the physical and functional components of frailty are contained in this section. Moreover, since body composition plays a major role in determining physical frailty and, at the same time, represents the most evident feature of the aging process, special attention is given to studies focused on sarcopenia and obesity at older age. - Neurosciences of frailty and aging The section presents results from studies exploring the cognitive and neurological aspects of frailty and age-related conditions. In particular, papers on neurodegenerative conditions of advanced age are welcomed. - Frailty and aging in clinical practice and public health This journal’s section is devoted at presenting studies on clinical issues of frailty and age-related conditions. This multidisciplinary section particularly welcomes reports from clinicians coming from different backgrounds and specialties dealing with the heterogeneous clinical manifestations of advanced age. Moreover, this part of the journal also contains reports on frailty- and age-related social and public health issues. - Clinical trials and therapeutics This final section contains all the manuscripts presenting data on (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) interventions aimed at preventing, delaying, or treating frailty and age-related conditions.The Journal of Frailty & Aging is a quarterly publication of original papers, review articles, case reports, controversies, letters to the Editor, and book reviews. Manuscripts will be evaluated by the editorial staff and, if suitable, by expert reviewers assigned by the editors. The journal particularly welcomes papers by researchers from different backgrounds and specialities who may want to share their views and experiences on the common themes of frailty and aging.The abstracting and indexing of the Journal of Frailty & Aging is covered by MEDLINE (approval by the National Library of Medicine in February 2016).
