Cognitive decline is a natural part of aging, though its progression varies significantly among individuals. There is a great deal of evidence showing that exercise is one of the most promising lifestyle factors that can both improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of dementia by causing molecular, cellular, structural, and functional changes. In this chapter, based on observational studies and intervention studies, we will briefly outline the effects of physical activity and exercise on cognitive function in older adults, focusing on the potential of light-intensity dance as a practical and enjoyable exercise that many older adults can do.

摘要

Cognitive decline is a natural part of aging, though its progression varies significantly among individuals. There is a great deal of evidence showing that exercise is one of the most promising lifestyle factors that can both improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of dementia by causing molecular, cellular, structural, and functional changes. In this chapter, based on observational studies and intervention studies, we will briefly outline the effects of physical activity and exercise on cognitive function in older adults, focusing on the potential of light-intensity dance as a practical and enjoyable exercise that many older adults can do.
