However, strategies for long-term management of AD symptoms/manifestations need to be optimized. Physical exercise is a widely recommended intervention for most disease conditions, known to promote not only physical but also mental health. In the context of AD, the outcomes of exercise interventions are poorly understood. Therefore, the relevance of this research topic relies on the need to integrate the current knowledge about the protective effect of exercise, as a potential therapy intervention to AD management. We hope to add information in order to alert institutions, experts and caregivers about the feasibility and benefits of exercise, involving different physical and cognitive components, as co-adjuvant non-pharmacological tool for AD older adults. | ||
