Registry summary
Previous studies have confirmed that both acute (single) and long-term various exercise interventions can significantly improve the cognitive function of individuals with MCI. The positive effects of long-term Qigong and elastic band exercises have also been verified. There are relatively few studies on the impact of Qigong and elastic band exercises on working memory. Most studies focusing on working memory mainly target children and college students. The effect of these exercises on the elderly has not been proven, and the improvement mechanism has not been clarified either. This article mainly starts from a single exercise perspective to explore whether a single exercise can improve the VSWM of elderly individuals with MCI. From the perspective of neurophysiology, it also discusses the brain mechanism of single Qigong and elastic band exercises on the working memory of cognitively impaired elderly people, providing reference for future long-term exercise prescriptions for the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease in China.
