Improve the memory of elderly people with muscle strengthening

Sydney University researchers found that muscle strength can boost the brain function in older people with mental problems and poor memory. To carry out this study, 100 patients aged 55 to 86 were studied who have poor memory and thinking problems, such as mild cognitive impairment. According to News Web Mood those elders who had done weightlifting twice a week for six months simultaneously with the acquisition of 80% of their maximum physical strength, achieved significant improvement in their mental performance. This positive effect was still remained in the elderly for one year after the end of the sessions of weightlifting. According to researchers, what can be said as a result of this research is improve the cognitive function that has been achieved by strengthening the muscles; how much the elderly are more powerful, have better brain function. Although the condition for achieving the high mental strength is durability strength training such as work with weights, which causes positive changes for the brain.
