Summary
Ageing exposes people to a progressive loss of cognitive and functional abilities, especially in women. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of different types of intervention, based on physical exercise and/or cognitive stimulation or training, on quality of life, cognition and mobility, on a population of older women.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BEHAVIORAL | EXERCISE TRAINING WITH OR WITHOUT MEDICATION | The exercise program includes 75-minute training sessions twice a week, for a total of 24 training sessions over 12 weeks. Each training session will be divided into a warm-up, training phase and cool-down, and will include aerobic exercises, resistance training, balance exercises, mobility exercises and stretching. |
| BEHAVIORAL | Exercise plus cognitive training | In addition to the exercise program, participants will be given a series of cognitive exercises aimed at improving prospective memory through the performance of certain oral tasks, administered by a member of the research team. All cognitive exercises will be adapted to the cognitive abilities of the participants. |
| BEHAVIORAL | Exercise plus cognitive stimulus at home | In addition to the exercise program, participants will receive a short video lasting less than 10 minutes on their smartphone or tablet before the exercise session (or at home). At the end of the video, they will be asked to complete a 10-question questionnaire (also delivered via smartphone or tablet) with True or False answer options. |
