Summary

A program that combines high intensity aerobic exercise (\<85% of Heart Rate Reserve) with resistance, progressive and moderate intensity intervals, carried out in primary care, is effective in terms of a smaller increase in respect to the baseline measurement in the total score of the ADAS cognitive section (Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive section),in the control group that receives an intervention similar to low intensity (30-40% of Heart rate reserve).

We Expect a difference of at least 3 points between the means of the increments between the intervention and control group.

Conditions

  • Alzheimer Disease

Interventions

OTHER

High intensity aerobic exercise+strength

The program consist in a "Continuous High aerobic exercise and moderate intensity intervals" (ShoshanaB et al, 2012) combined with "muscular strength exercises and joint mobility". Patients come three times a week for six months to the primary health center and will be supervised by an expert nurse.

OTHER

Low intensity aerobic exercise+strength

Low intensity aerobic exercise+strength program is similar to the other intervention but differs in the intensity of the exercise as it works with intensities below 40% of heart rate reserve. \--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
