Regular physical activity has long been found to associate with the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but a regular walking contribution to reduced risk and progression of Alzheimer's disease in younger and older elderly patients has been lacking, probably due to in reversibility in disease controlling(1) and in most cases in older adults(2).
Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking, and behavior severe enough to affect language communication, memory, lifelong hobbies, or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and it is fatal, due to the progression of the formation of plaques and tangles.
Strengthening the immune system fights against inflammation, reduces high blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and a healthy diet will help to prevent Alzheimer's disease(3).
In a new study conducted by the São Paulo State University, multimodal exercise, including walking intervention on frontal cognitive functions and kinematic gait parameters may be effective to prevent the progression in patients with Alzheimer's disease(4).
According to a study of the performance of exercise programs such as walking, of 134 ambulatory patients with mild to severe AD, significantly improved their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), physical performance, and nutritional and decreased behavioral disturbance and depression in patients(5).
In support of regular walking in the improvement of cognitive and physical function in AD patients, Dr. Vreugdenhil A and colleagues at the University of Tasmania, said, "Participation in a community-based exercise program can improve cognitive and physical function and independence in ADL in people with Alzheimer's disease,.... under the supervision of their carer. (6),
In fact, regular walking in elderly exercise programs also showed to slow the rate of functional deterioration in mild AD and reduce falls and disease progression(8) in patients suffering from advanced AD(7), a major concern of caregivers, through the improvement of balance performance(8).
Dr. Ryan SM and colleagues in the study of examined exercise-mediated effects on AD pathology, cognitive function, hippocampal neurogenesis, and neuroinflammation in transgenic mouse models of AD, concluded, "Exercise presents a promising non-pharmacological option to potentially delay the onset of or slow down the progression of AD"(9) through " induced effects on hippocampal neurogenesis, cognitive function, and neuroinflammation, and consider exercise as a potential pro-neurogenic and anti-inflammatory intervention for cognition"(10)
Some researchers suggested that the effectiveness of exercise in delaying the onset of or slowing down the progression of AD by preventing amyloid-β (Aβ) load, probably are the result of exercise-induced protection against AD-related mitochondrial dysfunction and phenotypic deterioration(11).
