About this study

This study is planned to examine the effects of combined exercise on cognitive status, lower extremity muscle strength, mobility, physical performance, mood and quality of life in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment. Aerobic exercise training and lower limb (extremity) strengthening exercises were applied to the first group, dual-task training and lower limb strengthening exercises were applied to the second group, and aerobic exercise training, dual-task training and lower limb strengthening exercises were applied to the third group.
