The aim of this paper is to analyse two studies that investigated whether physical exercise can improve cognitive behaviour in Alzheimer's sufferers by evaluating the effect of aerobic exercise in the treatment of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients.
There are several epidemiological studies have suggested that physical activity may slow the progression of cognitive decline. More research is required. There is however a possibility that exercise can reduce the rate of decline. Therefore individuals that are active might show a slower rate of decline than those that are sedentary. If studies support this claim, it will have a huge impact in
