There are a few risk factors which definitely have an impact on the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Those include genetics, gender, age, diabetes, head injuries, and lifestyle. Physical activity together with a healthy diet is part of people's lifestyle. At present, there exist several research studies showing that the physical activities can be a good intervention tool in the delay of cognitive decline in AD.
The aim of this study is to discuss a relationship between the physical activities and the delay and/or maintenance of cognitive decline in AD and the types of physical activities which are especially suitable for this delay.
The method of this review study consists of a method of literature review analysing the data contained in the world's prestigious scientific databases: PubMed, Springer, Web of Science and Scopus in the period of 2010 - 2015. In addition, a method of comparison of different research studies discussing various aspects and factors of the correlation of physical activities and AD is used.
The findings of this review confirm that in most cases, physical activities have a positive effect on the improvement of cognitive decline in AD.
Although physical activities seem to be beneficial for people with AD, more convincing results, particularly in the area of specific types of exercises and their impact on slowing down the cognitive decline, respectively AD, are needed.
有一些风险因素肯定会对阿尔茨海默病（AD）的发展产生影响。这些因素包括遗传、性别、年龄、糖尿病、头部受伤和生活方式。体育活动和健康的饮食是人们生活方式的一部分。目前，有几项研究表明，体育活动可以成为延缓 AD 认知能力下降的有效干预手段。
本研究旨在讨论体育活动与 AD 认知能力下降的延缓和/或维持之间的关系，以及特别适合延缓认知能力下降的体育活动类型。
本综述研究的方法包括文献综述方法，分析了 2010 年至 2015 年间世界著名科学数据库：PubMed、Springer、Web of Science 和 Scopus 中包含的数据。此外，还使用了比较不同研究的方法，讨论了体育活动与 AD 相关性的各个方面和因素。
本综述的研究结果证实，在大多数情况下，体育活动对改善 AD 认知能力下降有积极影响。
尽管体育活动似乎对 AD 患者有益，但仍需要更有说服力的结果，特别是在特定类型的运动及其对减缓认知能力下降，即 AD 的影响方面。
