Summary
This study looked at whether different types of exercise—aerobic (like walking) and resistance (like lifting weights)—can improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, a condition that can lead to dementia. Researchers enrolled 226 adults in Vancouver who had memory complaints. Participants did aerobic training, resistance training, or both, and their cognitive function was measured over time.
