Summary

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a the most common type of dementia. It is a progressive disease that affects different areas of human behavior at the cognitive, social, physical and metabolic levels. The benefits of a High-Intensity Interval Exercise Program (HIIT) has been proven not only in healthy older adults, but also in different pathologies, such as cerebrovascular and cardiometabolic diseases. However, there are no studies to date that examine the impact of HIIT in people with AD. The aim of this study was to ascertain the effectiveness of a HIIT program versus a cognitive and motor dual task balance program on parameters related to functional capacity and cognitive function in people with AD.

Conditions

  • Alzheimer Disease

Interventions

OTHER

HIIT intervention

Patients will perform a muscle strength training circuit interspersed with resistance training circuit. The strength training circuit will consist of 10 strength exercises and resistance training circuit will consist of walking, jogging and running exercises. Each exercise will be performed for one minute, trying to reach maximum intensities adapted to each individual's condition.

OTHER

Dual task intervention

Dual task training will consist of the progressive and specific assignment of primary motor tasks and secondary motor or cognitive tasks focused on: i) Primary tasks: static, dynamic balance and gait exercises; ii) Secondary tasks (motor or cognitive): verbal fluency, mathematical calculation, memory, visual-spatial planning, auditory discrimination, fine motor task, motor transport task.
