Identifying feasible and effective interventions aimed at mitigating the effects of cognitive decline in older adults is currently a high priority for researchers, clinicians, and policy makers. Evidence suggests that exercise and cognitive training benefit cognitive health in older adults; however, a preferred modality has to be endorsed yet by the scientific community. The purpose of this review is to discuss and critically examine the current state of knowledge concerning the effects of aerobic, resistance, cognitive, and novel dual-task exercise training interventions for the preservation or improvement of cognitive health in older adults. A review of the literature suggests that the potential exists for multiple exercise modalities to improve cognitive functioning in older adults. Nonetheless current limitations within the field need to be addressed prior to providing definitive recommendations concerning which exercise modality is most effective at improving or maintaining cognitive health in aging.
确定旨在减轻老年人认知衰退影响的可行且有效的干预措施，目前是研究人员、临床医生和政策制定者的高度优先事项。有证据表明，运动和认知训练有益于老年人的认知健康；然而，科学界尚未认可一种首选方式。本综述的目的是讨论并批判性地审视有关有氧、抗阻、认知和新型双任务运动训练干预措施对老年人认知健康的保存或改善作用的当前知识状况。文献综述表明，多种运动方式有改善老年人认知功能的潜力。尽管如此，在就哪种运动方式在改善或维持老年人认知健康方面最有效提供明确建议之前，该领域当前的局限性需要得到解决。
