Article Synopsis
- Limited research has examined how resistance exercise (RE) combined with whole body vibration (WBV) and blood flow restriction (BFR) affects working memory (WM) in older adults, particularly regarding molecular and neurophysiological mechanisms.
- A study involving 66 participants found that while reaction times and P3 latencies were unaffected, accuracy rates and P3 amplitudes improved significantly in the WBV and WBV + BFR groups, with the latter showing the most improvement.
- Additionally, both IGF-1 and norepinephrine levels increased across all groups after the exercise intervention, with only norepinephrine levels correlated with improvements in accuracy, suggesting that these combined exercises may help reduce cognitive decline in older individuals.
