Journal ArticleDOI

The Study of Mental and Resistance Training (SMART) Study—Resistance Training and/or Cognitive Training in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Sham Controlled Trial

Maria A. Fiatarone Singh, +16 more
- 01 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: Resistance training significantly improved global cognitive function, with maintenance of executive and global benefits over 18 months, and was higher for Executive Domain compared with combined training.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effect of Exercise Training on Cognitive Function in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Nicola J. Gates, +5 more
- 01 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: There is very limited evidence that exercise improves cognitive function in individuals with MCI, although published research is of moderate quality and inconclusive due to low statistical power.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive and memory training in adults at risk of dementia: A Systematic Review

Nicola J. Gates, +4 more
- 25 Sep 2011 - 
TL;DR: A systematic review found that cognitive exercises can produce moderate-to-large beneficial effects on memory-related outcomes, however, the number of high quality RCTs remains low, and so further trials must be a priority.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive exercise and its role in cognitive function in older adults.

Nicola J. Gates, +1 more
- 08 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: A concrete definition of cognitive training (CT) is introduced and the overall findings indicate that multidomain CT has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutically relevant structural and functional mechanisms triggered by physical and cognitive exercise.

Chao Suo, +21 more
- 22 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: The findings indicate that physical and cognitive training depend on discrete neuronal mechanisms for their therapeutic efficacy, information that may help develop targeted lifestyle-based preventative strategies.
