Journal ArticleDOI
Physical exercise and cognitive performance in the elderly: current perspectives
TL;DR: The role of exercise in neuroprotection and cognitive performance is summarized, physical exercise interventions aimed at improving brain health through neuroprotective mechanisms show promise for preserving cognitive performance in older adults are summarized, and information related to implementation of physical exercise programs for older adults is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations Between Physical Performance and Executive Function in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: Gait Speed and the Timed “Up & Go” Test
Ellen L. McGough,Valerie E. Kelly,Rebecca G. Logsdon,Susan M. McCurry,Barbara B. Cochrane,Joyce M. Engel,Linda Teri +6 more
TL;DR: Physical performance speed was associated with executive function after adjusting for age, sex, and age-related factors in sedentary older adults with aMCI, and mechanisms and early intervention strategies to slow functional decline were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Specific cognitive domains were differentially related to distinct PigD components, suggesting the presence of multiple neural pathways contributing to associations between cognition and PIGD symptoms in persons with PD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional mobility limitations and falls in assisted living residents with dementia: physical performance assessment and quantitative gait analysis.
TL;DR: The results of this study provide support for the application of brief physical performance assessments by physical therapists to identify functional mobility limitations and fall risk in older adults with advanced dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of evidence-based exercise recommendations for older HIV-infected patients.
TL;DR: Age‐appropriate, evidence‐based exercise recommendations for older HIV‐infected adults (age > 50) are developed and a combination of endurance and resistance exercises 3 times per week for at least 6 weeks are recommended to improve cardiovascular, metabolic, and muscle function.
