Optimal type and dose of exercise to improve cognitive function in healthy and pre-sarcopenic older adults: a bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Key Points
Cognitive function improves significantly with specific doses of exercise in older adults, especially in those at risk for sarcopenia.
The analysis shows varied exercise impacts, emphasizing tailored approaches based on individual health profiles.
Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted to assess the effects of different exercise types and doses.
Findings highlight the potential for targeted exercise programs to enhance quality of life among older adults, especially as they age.
