Exercise Training in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment: A One-Year Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

The AET and SAT groups both showed evidence of slightly improved neuropsychological scores in previously sedentary aMCI patients. However, these interventions did not prevent brain atrophy or increases in cortical Aβ deposition over 12 months. In amyloid positive patients, AET reduced hippocampal atrophy when compared with the SAT group.
