Abstract

Previous studies have consistently demonstrated that exercise mitigates cognitive decline in older adults. However, the most effective types of exercise, along with optimal frequency and duration of interventions, remain inadequately defined. To address these gaps, we conducted a network meta-analysis synthesizing direct and indirect evidence from existing literature to identify the most effective exercise interventions for enhancing cognitive function in older adults.

Research summary

The paper claims to identify the most effective exercise interventions for enhancing cognitive function in older adults. This research is relevant as it addresses cognitive decline, a significant aspect of aging, and seeks to define effective interventions that could potentially improve longevity and quality of life in older populations.
