Posted on: 26/Oct/2016 9:42:07 AM
A new study conducted by researchers from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada has said that regular aerobic exercise may be beneficial for older adults who already have memory and thinking problems.
Aerobic exercise, also known as cardio, is physical exercise of low to high intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process. The study was published online in the journal Neurology.
Say the researchers, Those who exercised had a small improvement on the test of overall thinking skills compared to those who did not exercise. In addition, those who exercised also showed improvement in their blood pressure levels. High levels of hypertension may increase the risk of developing vascular cognitive impairment - the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer`s disease. Studies have shown that exercise can help reduce the risk of developing memory problems, but few studies have looked at whether it can help people who already have these problems get better or keep from getting worse.
