“…According to the results obtained in these cognitive tests, the participants who practised sports activities, whether open ones such as basketball or tennis, or closed ones like swimming or jogging, did better than those whose physical activity was irregular and of low intensity. Similar research has been conducted in people with different neuropathologies such as multiple sclerosis (Motl et al 2015), Alzheimer's disease (Pedroso et al 2018) and Parkinson's disease (Fiorelli et al 2019). In these studies, the participants with greater aerobic capacity presented relatively large brain structures related to cognitive abilities (such as the hippocampus or the thalamus) (Motl et al 2015).…”

Background Physical exercise seems to improve cognitive abilities at different physiological levels. Numerous studies have examined the relationship between physical fitness (PF), physical activity and cognition among populations without intellectual disabilities (ID), but very few have addressed this question with respect to people with ID. This study aimed to determine the correlation between intelligence quotient (IQ) and factors related to PF in healthy adults with ID. Methods A multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted in 91 individuals with ID. All participants were assessed with the K-BIT tests and the following test items from the SAMU DIS-FIT Battery: body mass index, handgrip strength (HGS), leg strength, dynamic balance and physical endurance. Results Significant differences between men and women were tested by multiple regression. IQ was found to be statistically related to HGS and leg strength, with a medium effect size. Statistical relationships were also found between sex and physical endurance, with a medium effect size, and HGS, with a large effect size. ConclusionsThe study results highlight relationships between the variables of muscular strength and the participants' IQ. Further studies with experimental designs are needed to enhance the understanding of the relationships between PF and cognition in persons with ID.

“…Neural connectivity effects were measured using electro-encephalogram (EEG) readings in 5 studies (Amjad et al, 2019;Hong et al, 2017;Kim and Lee, 2018;Pedroso et al, 2018; j QUALITY IN AGEING AND OLDER ADULTS j Yerokhin et al, 2012). All studies reported improved EEG patterns/complexity, indicating improved neural connectivity; cognitive function was improved too, although improvements were only slight in the case of Hong et al (2017).…”

“…In the study by Pedroso et al (2018), while the physical activity intervention improved reaction time, the control group took part in a social activity, which also resulted in improved information processing. This was the only study that had a defined/explicit social activity for control participants, although other group activities (intervention or control) may have had an implicit social element.…”

Purpose One limitation of research that assesses the effectiveness of physical activity interventions for people with dementia is that most do not describe the intervention in sufficient detail to ascertain a theoretical basis or mechanism of action that determines the effective components. This paper aims to identify studies which evaluate the mechanisms of action of physical activity interventions for people with dementia, to further inform effective intervention development. Design/methodology/approach Papers were screened for evidence of evaluation of specific forms of physical activity, using pre-defined inclusion criteria. Analysis was conducted to ascertain if mechanisms of action were corroborated by data within and between studies. Findings The authors identified 26 studies with a measured mechanism of action; these related to the effects of physical activity on either neurological structure or endocrinal markers, including hormones. Physical activity had potential to reduce hippocampal atrophy, increase neural recruitment, activate the noradrenergic system and improve anti-inflammatory responses. While individual studies were hampered by small sample sizes, the body of evidence indicated that physical activity may have potential to delay cognitive decline. Practical implications Mechanisms of action in relation to dementia and physical activity are likely to be multifaceted, and physical activity may be protective against progression in the early stages of cognitive decline. Physical activity may be of greatest benefit if incorporated into on-going lifestyle, rather than engaged in for short periods, and combined with social interaction. Originality/value This paper is unique in its focus on the mechanisms of action of physical activity interventions for people with dementia.

“…During the physical exercises the reaction time decreases, this fact involving a recovery of cortical activity, compared to the SG activities that play a role in facilitating the processing of information (Pedroso, Cancela et al, 2018), in case they assimilate the information by stimulating the visual and auditory analysers though not only motor. The importance of the physical exercises in the hydric environment lies in the facility to execute the strokes specific to swimming due to floatability, which the body gains in the water, as well as due to the mechanic, thermic and chemic factors of the water.…”

This study highlights the sustainability of using the mobile computerized technologies (MCT) in monitoring the physical activities (PA) for enhancing the quality of the life to the young persons with special education needs (QLYPSEN). In this study we have established programme by physical activities specific of swimming (PASS) permanently monitored by MCT and the application of research methods showed the sustainability of MCT in enhancing QLYPSEN. This fact will allow a connection with the help of the modern means and an implication in the generation of behaviors adapted to the modern society, the connection between the new technologies and the basic technique specific to the swimming highlighting the need for change and a permanent attention paid to the interdisciplinary use of the training valences. The human evolution, capable of a permanent adaptation, regardless of the existential conditions, makes it possible to anchor, and at the same time, the transfer to a continuous relationship with others. The psychological and motor behavioural development of YPSEN by PA of swimming realizes quickly and correctly using MCT, motivating them and gaining self-confidence as well as contributing to rendering their social behaviour more efficient and the increase QLYPSEN.

Effects of Physical Exercise on the P300 of Elderly With Alzheimer’s Disease

Abstract: Physical exercise decreases reaction time and suggests a recovery in cortical activity, whereas SG activities could probably facilitate information processing.
