In the relevant study by Boulares and colleagues, the importance of a multicomponent physical activity program in improving balance skills and leading to falling risk and fear reduction in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is highlighted, despite the lack of cognitive effects. Given this apparent discrepancy between "body" and "mind" in MCI rehabilitation, the present commentary faces and discusses these findings within the existing literature and poses the question whether there were actually no cognitive results or if the program design and evaluation tool used were not sensitive enough to detect them, at least at this stage.
在 Boulares 及其同事的相关研究中，尽管没有认知效果，但强调了多组分体育活动方案在改善平衡技能、降低轻度认知障碍（MCI）老年人跌倒风险和恐惧方面的重要性。鉴于 MCI 康复中“身体”和“思维”之间的这种明显差异，本评论在现有文献中面对并讨论了这些发现，并提出了这样一个问题：是否实际上没有认知结果，或者使用的方案设计和评估工具不够敏感，无法检测到这些结果，至少在现阶段是这样。
