Abstrakt: It is already known the effectiveness of Pilates training on cognitive and functional abilities. It is also known that dual-task exercise and cognitive stimuli improve cognition and functional capacity. However, no previous report combined cognitive stimuli and Pilates in dual task and measured its effects on the cognitive and physical performances of postmenopausal women.
Objective: To apply an interventional dual-task (PILATES-COG) protocol and to evaluate its influence on memory, language, and functional physical performances on healthy, community-dwelling postmenopausal older women.
Methods: 47 women with amenorrhea for at least 12 months participated in this study. Those allocated on the PILATES-COG group underwent a 12-week, twice a week regimen of 50 min sessions of simultaneous mat Pilates exercise program and cognitive tasks. Cognitive and physical functional performance were assessed. Two-way mixed ANOVA was used for data analysis, and Bonferroni post hoc tests were used for within- and between-group comparisons.
Results: The PILATES-COG group showed significant improvement after the intervention in semantic verbal fluency ( p < 0.001; ηρ² = 0.268), phonological verbal fluency ( p < 0.019; ηρ² = 0.143), immediate memory ( p < 0.001; ηρ² = 0.258), evocation memory ( p < 0.001 ηρ² = 0.282), lower-limb muscle strength ( p < 0.001; ηρ² = 0.447), balance ( p < 0.001; ηρ² = 0.398), and dual-ask cost ( p < 0.05; ηρ² = 0.111) assessments on healthy, community-dwelling postmenopausal older women.
Conclusion: This is the first report of a feasible and effective approach using Pilates and cognitive stimulation in dual task for the reduction of age-related cognitive decline and the improvement of physical functional performance in healthy postmenopausal women.
