Description
Ye-Eun Shin and co-authors test a class that trains body and mind at the same time for healthy older adults. Combined programs are known to help the brain, but evidence in people without any thinking impairment is thinner. Seventy-three community-dwelling adults over 65, all screened clear of impairment, took eight hour-long group sessions mixing memory and thinking drills with physical activity.
Afterward, total thinking scores rose by about seven points and a standard physical performance score by about 1.6 points, both clearly significant. Gains differed by sex on two memory items, favoring men on one and women on the other. The authors conclude the combined format lifts both domains together in this age group.
