A 9-Week Aerobic and Strength Training Program Improves Cognitive and Motor Function in Patients with Dementia: AÂ Randomized, Controlled Trial

Compared with a nonexercise control group, a combination of aerobic and strength training is more effective than aerobic-only training in slowing cognitive and motor decline in patients with dementia. No mediating effects between improvements in cognitive function via improved motor function were found. Future research into the underlying mechanistic associations is needed.
