Effectiveness of a Strength Program Over Cognitive Functionality in Older Adults
Sponsor: University of Salamanca
Summary
This is a randomized, parallel, double-blind clinical trial. The main objective is to compare the efficacy of strength training, multimodal exercise with non-specific exercises and a control group on cognitive functionality and physical composition in subjects over 65 years of age with mild or non existent cognitive impairment currently receiving occupational therapy. The intervention in both groups will be carried out for 30 weeks, with three weekly sessions. Two evaluations will be performed, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention. Cognitive Functionality (Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and Lawton and Brody Scale), Sleep quality (Athens insomnia scale and Pittsburgh sleep quality index), physical functionality (Timed up and go (TUG), chair stand test and hand grip test and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)), body composition (Body fat %, skeletal muscle index (SMI), appendicular skeletal muscle (ASM), waist circumference, waist hip ratio, body weight, body mass index (BMI)) will be evaluated.
