| description | This study investigated the effects of a 12-week functional training (FT) program on motor and cognitive abilities in elderly individuals with mild to moderate dementia. A total of 400 participants (100 in the FT group [Group 1] and 100 in the control group [Group 2]) were assessed. Groups were comparable in terms of demographic characteristics such as age (Group 1: 72.1 ± 6.2; Group 2: 71.8 ± 5.9, p>0.05) and physical activity levels (sedentary majority in both groups). Balance scores improved significantly in Group 1 (pre: 44.3 ± 8.7; post: 54.1 ± 7.5, F=16.45, p0.05). Balance improvements mediated walking speed (β=0.48, p |
