摘要

隨著高齡者因為快速老化造成認知與執行功能的退化，認知功能疾病的比例逐年增加，造成社會資源龐大的支出以及增加未來青壯年扶老的負擔，改善高齡者的認知與執行功能已成為一個重要議題。認知與執行功能的退化問題並不是不可改善，減緩認知與執行功能的退化不是只能使用藥物，國內外許多研究高齡者參與有氧運動後在認知功能測驗中有幫助，如Stroop測驗、簡易心智量表以及威斯康辛卡片測驗。長期規律性的有氧運動，也可以提升心肺適能來增加大腦血流量，伴隨著對大腦有益的神經滋養因子的增加，也減少大腦斑塊形成，對大腦有正面的效益。本研究採文獻探討方式歸納出有氧運動對高齡者認知與執行功能之影響。

As aging quickly lead to cognitive and executive function decline, the prevalence of cognitive dysfunction increase rapidly in Taiwan, the society expense and responsibility of youth people will have been increasing. It become an essential issue of promote cognitive and executive function of the elderly. The problem of cognitive and executive function decline is improvable, it is not only way to slow down decline of cognitive and executive function to take medicine. Many studies have reported that aerobic exercise to the benefit of cognitive test (Stroop Test, Mini-Mental State Examination and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test) result of the elderly. Aerobic exercise can improve brain function by increase cerebral blood flow, brain-derived neurotropic factor and reduce form of cerebral plaques. By reviewing previous studies, this research summarized the effect of aerobic exercise on cognitive and executive function of elderly.
