Research

A wide range of intervention methods were discovered, indicating significant diversity. By assessing both physical fitness and cognitive abilities together, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of how combined interventions affect individuals. Additionally, thoroughly examining the effectiveness of cognitive training apps necessitates considering individual differences and practical results in real-world situations.

This study found that both aerobic and strength training improved physical performance in older adults, with aerobic training enhancing aerobic capacity and upper body strength, and strength training with cognitive exercises improving flexibility. However, none of the training methods showed significant cognitive improvements. The study highlighted the importance of structured physical exercise programs for enhancing physical fitness in older adults and suggested that future research should include longer durations, more male participants, and diverse cognitive assessments to better evaluate cognitive effects.​
