The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) develop and assess the suitability of a program of physical activity for an institutionalized population with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and (b) evaluate the exercise/movement program's impact on behavior of patients with AD. Twenty-two AD patients participated in a 40-min exercise/movement program for 28 days. The results showed that the program reduced the agitated behaviors of patients with AD by more than half (Χ² = 101, df = 1, P <.0001; Cramer's V = .23). The study confirmed that the exercise/movement program was both feasible and desirable for patients with AD, and that it reduced some of the adverse behaviors of the patients.
