Age-related dementia refers to a state in which someone experiences multiple cognitive function impairment due to degenerative brain disease, and which causes difficulties in their daily life or social life. Dementia is the most common and serious obstacle in later life. Early intervention in the case of patients who are in the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage among the high-risk group can maintain and improve their cognitive function. The purpose of the current trial is aimed at investigating the association between a multi-component (exercise with cognitive) intervention program and habitual physical activity parameters on cognitive functions in MCI patients. Neuropsychological cognitive and depression assessments were performed by neuropsychologists according to normalized methods, including the Korean mini-mental State examination (K-MMSE) and modified Alzheimer’s disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog) and cognitive assessment tool (attention, processing speed), and the Korean version of the geriatric depression scale (SGDS-K), both at baseline and at a 12 weeks follow-up. The 12-week multi-component intervention improved cognitive function and habitual physical activity parameters in patients with MCI relative to controls. A multi-component intervention program for patients with MCI is considered to be an effective method of dementia prevention by improving global (ADAS-Cog) and frontal (trail-making test, digit symbol substitution test) cognition and habitual physical activity parameters such as moderate to vigorous physical activity and step count. In addition, it is important to encourage habitual physical activities to ensure that exercise intervention strategies are carried out at the duration and intensity required for improving physical and cognitive wellbeing and obtaining health benefits.

The purpose of this study was to effects of combined exercise for 12 weeks on body composition, health-related physical fitness and IFG in female university students. The subject for the study were twenty female university students volunteer, aged 20 years, composed of aerobic exercise program group (n=10), anaerobic exercise group(n=10). All subjects were evaluated pre- and post-test. Combined exercise was performed 4 times per week for 12 weeks. The test data were analyzed by paired t-test and two-way ANOVA, and the alpha level of p<.5 was set for all tests of significance. The result of combined exercise improved the Standing jump and Closed eyes on legged standing, with prevented the increase in body weight, %body, female university students. Combined exercise had a positive effect on IFG. Therefore, the 12 weeks of combined exercise could be beneficial to improve body composition, health-related physical fitness and IFG in female university students.
