Summary of study that analyze the effects of cycle ergometer training on cognition function

			Outcomes
Author, year	Mean age (years)	Protocol type	Cognition function
Palleschi et al. (1996) [39]	74.0 ± 1.5	CET 70 % of HRmax 20 min/session 3 sessions/week, 3 months	↑ in the test of attentional matrix (35.9 ± 3.8 to 43.9 ± 6.3). ↑ in the verbal span test (2.8 ± 0.6 to 3.8 ± 0.6). ↑ in the supraverbal span test (7.4 ± 0.9 to 12.6 ± 2.6). ↑ in the MMSEP (19.4 ± 1.1 to 21.7 ± 1.3).

CET cycle ergometer training, HR _max maximal heart rate, MMSEP mini mental state examination, ? significant improvement within group
