To compare the differences before and after the intervention, the Barthel index, Senior Fitness Test, 5-minuteNuStep, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Trail Making Test (TMT)-part A/B, and Mini-Mental Status Examination(MMSE) scores were measured.[Results] Among the disabled elderly individuals, only the group who performed aerobic exercise indicated favorable resultsfor exercise tolerability and the GDS, TMT-part A, and MMSE scores (all P < 0.05).[Conclusion] The findings suggest that aerobic exercise in disabled elderly individuals receiving nursing care is beneficial interms of brain function, which supports previous studies on aerobic exercise-related indices of physical and mentalfunctioning.}, pages = {1--8}, title = {有酸素性持久運動プログラムが要介護認定者の脳機能に及ぼす影響}, volume = {28}, year = {2015} }
