Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected that through the association of physical exercise with high cognitive demand with non-invasive brain stimulation, a significant reduction in the symptoms of elderly people in the dementia process can be verified.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
By proving the effectiveness of the association of physical exercises with high cognitive demand with non-invasive brain stimulation, it will be possible to implement programs for the prevention and reduction of dementia symptoms in elderly people who are more efficient. Also, new studies may emerge that test other forms of physical exercise and possible associations.
