Effects of aerobic exercise interventions on cognitive function, sleep quality, and quality of life in older adults with mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aerobic exercise, as a non-pharmacological intervention, has been widely recognized for its potential benefits on cognitive function in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, systematic evidence regarding its effects on other critical health domains, such as sleep quality and quality of life, remains limited. Moreover, previous meta-analyses have typically included a relatively small number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which may constrain the generalizability and objectivity of their findings.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise on cognitive function, sleep quality, and quality of life in older adults with MCI, and to identify key exercise prescription parameters based on the FITT principle (frequen
