Patients’ cognitive status, lower extremity muscle strength, balance, mobility, activities-specific balance confidence, functional exercise capacity, physical performance, mood and quality of life were evaluated.ResultsIn all three intervention groups, there was a significant improvement in cognitive status, balance, mobility, activities-specific balance confidence, physical performance, mood and quality of life (p < 0.05). The most remarkable change was observed in the ADG on cognitive status, mobility and physical performance parameters (p < 0.05). In addition, the most significant improvement in balance parameters was recorded both in the DG and ADG (p < 0.05). Besides, the highest increase in functional exercise capacity was detected both in the AG and ADG (p < 0.05). On the other hand, both exercise combinations were superior to the control group in terms of improving mood and quality of life (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe trial results proved that aerobic exercise and dual-task training is the best combination for improving cognitive status, mobility and physical performance in older adults with MCI.
