Abstract
This study examined changes in AD-type dementia-related factors, fall-related physical factors and cognitive abilities after applying exercise to identify appropriate motor patterns for women aged 65 or older who are at risk of AD dementia. The participants were 33 people suspected of mild dementia with less than 23 MMSE-K points. They were divided into RTG, YTG, WTG, CG for a 12 week period exercise. The study found that Aβ significantly decreased in YTG after exercise and BDNF showed a significant increase in RTG and YTG. In Aβ exercise type comparison, YTG was significantly lower than CG after exercise. The upper limbs strength increased significantly in the RTG and YTG, and lower limbs strength, whole body endurance, upper limbs flexibility, and dynamic equilibrium increased significantly in RTG, YTG, WTG. Lower limbs flexibility increased significantly in yoga groups. In comparison by the types of exercise, upper limbs strength was significantly higher in RTG and YTG than that in WTG and CG after the exercise. upper and limbs flexibility and dynamic equilibrium were higher in YTG than that in CG. Weight showed significant decrease in RTG after exercise. Body fat percentage significantly decreased in RTG and WTG after exercise. Muscle mass showed significant increase in RTG after exercise. MMSE-K showed significant increase in RTG, YTG, and WTG after exercise. In comparison by the types of exercise, MMSE-K was significantly higher in RTG, YTG, and WTG than that in CG.
