Exergames: neuroplastic hypothesis about cognitive improvement and biological effects on physical function of institutionalized older persons.
Renato Sobral Monteiro-Junior,César Augusto Otero Vaghetti,Osvaldo J. M. Nascimento,Jerson Laks,Andrea Camaz Deslandes +4 more
TL;DR: The aims of the present study were to demonstrate the known biological mechanisms of physical exercise regarding muscle adaptation and establish a relationship with exergames, and to present a neurobiological hypothesis about the neuroplastic effects of exergame effects on the cognitive function of institutionalized older persons.
