Exercise And Dementia
In addition, in many cases, the fact of this task produces certain physical problems, that most of the time are not treated properly, by lack of time or the obligation of care to prepend to the person with the disease before their own health in caregivers.
For this reason, Jose Prieto, researcher of the Afycav Group (physical activity, quality of life and health) of the University of Extremadura has done a thesis dedicated to evaluate the physical condition and the quality of life of caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

| Exercise And Dementia - Physical Exercise For Dementia |
This study arises from the need to know the type of activity that these people do to try to alleviate the negative effects provoked and has concluded that an exercise program adapted to a home environment and with the presence of an instructor would improve physical and psychological health of the caregivers, which reduces the chance of developing depression and anxiety.
The novelty of this research is that it directly impacts the physical exercise as therapy, unlike the rest of intervention studies for caregivers, who focus more on the training aspect or social support.
José Prieto explained that they employed nine months to evaluate the program of home care, which was assessed to 54 women caregivers, who were subjected to weekly sessions of 1 hour of exercise and who were compared with other 56 women not performing any type of physical activity.
According to experts, this study can be very useful if it is applied in the healthcare field and its results could see in a short period of time.
