Physical Activity and Exercise in Dementia

Year 2015, Volume: 7 Issue: 3, 289 - 294, 12.07.2015

Abstract

Aging is a dynamic process that affects many systems in the body. Cognitive function with aging, including memory, intelligence, personality and behavior are affected at different levels. As time passes, durability of individuals and the amount of physical activity and exercise decrease. Apart from normal aging process, accompanying chronic brain syndrome of dementia will further reduce activities. Physical activity can provide opportunities for individuals with dementia in the path to socialize. Therefore, the role of physical activity and exercise in adapting an active lifestyle to protect the health of individuals with dementia is becoming increasingly important. Physical activity and exercise which would help in improvement of cognitive activity in dementia are briefly reviewed in this article.

Demansta Fiziksel Aktivite ve Egzersiz

Abstract

Yaşlılık vücuttaki birçok sistemi etkileyen dinamik bir süreçtir. Yaşlanma ile bellek dahil bilişsel işlevler, zeka, kişilik ve davranışlar farklı düzeylerde etkilenmektedir. Süreç ilerledikçe bireyin, dayanıklılığında, fiziksel aktivite ve egzersizlerinde azalma görülebilmektedir. Normal yaşlılık sürecinde durum böyleyken aynı zamanda kronik bir beyin sendromu olan demansın eşlik etmesi ile aktiviteler de giderek azalır. Fiziksel aktiviteler sosyalleşebilmek için demansı olan bireye çeşitli fırsatlar sunabilir. Bu nedenle demansı olan bireylerin sağlığını korumak ve aktif yaşam tarzını benimsetmek için fiziksel aktivite ve egzersizin rolü gittikçe önem kazanmaktadır. Bu derlemede demansta bilişsel aktiviteyi artırmaya yardımcı fiziksel aktivite ve egzersizler kısaca gözden geçirilmiştir.
