Influencia del ejercicio físico agudo sobre cognición, estado de ánimo y marcadores neurotróficos en plasma igf-1 y igfbp en adultos mayores de la ciudad de Bogotá (fase 2)

Abstract

The decrease in the birth rate, as well as the improvement in health services has led to an increase in the population of older adults, and therefore has become a public health goal. The objective of the present study is to determine what influence different types of physical exercise protocols can generate on the state of cognition and plasma neurotrophic profile of IGF-1 IGFBP in older adults in the city of Bogotá. A randomized clinical trial divided into four protocols to which the subjects will be exposed is performed as follows: Strength Group (GF) Coordination Group (GCo) Resistance Group (GR) and Flexibility Group or Control Group (GF ). The measurements will be taken before and after the subjects' exposure to the protocols; subjects will have a 72 hour rest period between each session. It is expected to obtain results that allow the identification of the responses of the subjects to exercise in each of the protocols and thus determine what type of exercise is recommended in this population for problems such as cognitive deterioration and emotional problems.
