Detailed description

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive and irreversible degeneration of nerve cells. The loss of these cells leads to the continuous decline in muscle function with alterations in biochemical and haematological parameters. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of exercise training on physical function and biochemical markers in elderly Alzheimer's disease patients.
