简要总结
This proposed study aims to examine the effect of High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) compared with Low-Intensity Functional Training (LIFT) on cognition, balance, and functional ability in older adults with cognitive impairment. As cognitive decline is often accompanied by reduced mobility and balance, identifying effective exercise strategies is essential for improving overall quality of life in this population. Participants will be assigned to either a HIFT or LIFT program, with both interventions focusing on functional, task-oriented movements relevant to daily activities. Outcome measures related to cognitive performance, postural balance, and functional mobility will be assessed before and after the intervention period. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence on whether higher-intensity functional training offers superior benefits compared to low-intensity training in older adults with cognitive impairment, thereby guiding future rehabilitation and exercise prescription practices.
