ABSTRACT

This study aims to evaluate the effects of physical training on the management of Alzheimer's disease in Tunisian male older adult patients. 21 patients were separate into two groups one of which followed a physical training program for six months and the other served as a control. Our results showed that exercise training significantly manages the cognitive function in patients such as the ADAS total, the ADAS memory and the MMSE. We conclude that physical training could be an interesting approach to the control of Alzeimer's disease in Tunisian male older adult patients.
