Optimal exercise interventions for enhancing cognitive function in older adults: a network meta-analysis by Han Han, Jinhao Zhang, Fan Zhang, Fanghui Li, Zhijian Wu

“…Background: Cognitive decline poses a significant challenge to healthy aging. While exercise is widely recognized for its cognitive benefits, the comparative efficacy of different exercise modalities and optimal intervention protocols for specific cognitive domains in older adults remains unclear.Objective: This network meta-analysis aimed to systematically compare the effects of five exercise modalities—resistance training, aerobic exercise, mind-body exercise, multicomponent exercise, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—on global cognitive function and major cognitive domains in cognitively healthy older adults, and to identify optimal intervention protocols and population subgroups most likely to benefit.Methods: A total of 58 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, encompassing 4,349 healthy older adults from diverse geographical regions. …”
