Physical activity is healthy and performed regularly, such as sport, not only beneficial for healthy people. Exercise also gives a positive impact for people with diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Mild Alzheimer's patients are more diligent in doing physical activity shown to have larger brains than Alzheimer's patients yag lower physical fitness activities, according to research experts in the United States that was published July 15 issue of Neurology.
To arrive at these kesimpulaan, researchers recruited 121 people aged 60 to undergo fitness tests using a treadmill. Participants also underwent brain scans to measure the white matter, gray matter and total brain volume.
In the human brain, gray matter function as a central processor / analyzer information, whereas white matter works to connect the centers of information / analysis.
Of all participants, 57 of whom are at the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, while the rest did not have dementia or dementia.
"Early stages of Alzheimer's patients who were less physically fit had four times more brain shrinkage than those who are physically fit when they were compared with normal elderly. This shows, on the fitness the higher shrinkage of the brain associated with Alzheimer's a little more," says author Jeffrey Burns research from the University of Kansas.
The measurement results are also unchanged although it has been ignoring the factor of age, gender, level of keparah dementia, physical activity and weakness.
With this discovery, researchers recommend people with early stage Alzheimer's can preserve their brain function by exercising regularly. "This activity has the potential to reduce the amount of their brain volume loss. The evidence shows, the decline in brain volume associated with poor cognitive ability. Therefore, maintaining a larger brain volume may be interpreted with better cognitive ability," Burns said.
