Summary

Cognitive impairment or dementia is their last degree in one of the main concerns at a social level in these ages. To this day, there are different pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies that can help prevent deterioration, as in this case, physical exercise.

In the existing scientific literature, you can find a lot of information about the effect of aerobic exercise on cognition, but little is known about the effect of force exercise and its effect on general cognition and executive functions.

Therefore, in this research the investigators will investigate the effect of strength training in people over 60 with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in executive functions. For this, a controlled and randomized clinical trial will be developed in the city of Seville

Effect of strength training on executive functions in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment.

Strength training sessions will have a frequency of 3 times per week (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) for 20 weeks. In addition, each subject is subject to an individualized training program according to the workload in order to progressively increase the intensity of work. The workload will be modified progressively by influencing both the total volume of repetitions and the intensity of the exercises. The exercises will be controlled movements and not harmful, as guided machines will be used to facilitate the execution of actions. In addition, the largest amount of muscle groups to be able to generate strength gains in all muscle groups. The control group will perform breathing exercises and low intensity stretching during the same days and with the same duration as the experimental group
