Efeitos do treinamento multicomponente na função executiva e mecanismos de neuroplasticidade em idosos: revisão integrativa

Abstract

Objective: The general objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of multicomponent training on executive function and neuroplasticity mechanisms in older adults. Methodology: The research was conducted through a integrative review, covering 10 published studies. The analysis techniques included the statistical interpretation of the data and the comparison of results among the different studies. Results: Data analysis revealed that the regular practice of training involving more than one physical capacity within the same session is associated with significant effects on both the BDNF marker and executive functions, such as cognitive flexibility. The results indicate that the proposed objectives were achieved, demonstrating the effectiveness of the multicomponent approach for brain health. Final Considerations: The study concludes that multicomponent training should be incorporated as a fundamental strategy in approaches to cognitive health in older adults.
