Abstract:
The Role of Physical Exercise in Cognitive Function is one of a continuing series of practical, evidence based, Provider Fact Sheets which summarize key geriatric topics and provide clinically useful assessments and interventions. Initially developed for remote, rural clinical sites, they are useful for students and health care professionals from many fields and across a very broad range of health care settings.
Educational objectives:
- Explain what is currently known about the relationship between exercise and cognitive function
- State which aspect of cognitive function seems most susceptible to improvements induced by exercise
- State the current recommendation for type and duration of exercise for fit older adults
