| Popis: | 104 Purpose: How to ease the degeneration of cognitive ability in the elderly individuals has been one of the major research issues in the relationship between physical exercise and cognitive function. Current study aimed to explore effects of table-tennis and run-walk exercise on the task switch performance in the elderly individuals via behavioral and neuroelectrical measures. Methods: 45 elders between 65-75 years old were assigned to table-tennis group, run-walk group, and control group. The intervention lasted 16 weeks, twice a week, each session were 40 minutes. Participants completed cognitive test in before and after test. Task switch task were used to measure flexibility of executive control of elders by behaviors and brainwave data. Results: Main effect was found in pretest, posttest and condition in table-tennis group among local switch. The cost of local switch decreased significantly from pretest to posttest in table-tennis group. However, there were no significant changes among run-walk group and control group. Conclusion: Physical exercise involving in more cognitive challenge such as table-tennis may be more beneficial to ameliorate the degenerative effect aging on cognitive flexibility in the elderly individuals. Hence, elders are suggested to try variety types of exercise regularly to reduce the detrimental effect of ageing on cognitive performance. |
