Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dual-task exercise program on cognitive function and physical fitness in mild cognitive impairment patients. Twenty-three mild cognitive impairment patients were assigned in exercise group(n=12), and control group(n=11). The exercise program consisted of dual-task exercise program 90min/session, 2 days each week for 12 weeks. The results of this study showed that ADAS-cog(p＜.05) was significant decreased in exercise group. And gait speed(p＜.05), stride length(p＜.05) and left step length(p＜.05) were significant increased in exercise group, also gait speed(p＜.05) and left step length(p＜.05) were statistically significant group and time interaction. These findings suggest that dual-task exercise program may represent an effective intervention strategy for improving cognitive function and physical fitness and leading to improved dementia in mild cognitive impairment patients.
