Abstract

Cognitive Training and aerobic exercise are two kinds of promising approaches against cognitive aging. The present study was designed to compare the training effect between cognitive training and aerobic exercise for community-dwelling, healthy older adults, and to explore the potential neurobiomarkers predicting behavioral gains from these interventions. A prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded, parallel-controlled trial was conducted. The results showed that cognitive training and aerobic exercise both can effectively improve cognitive function in community healthy elderly over time with good compliance and easy administration. Cognitive training and aerobic exercise have distinct training effects in different cognitive domains.
