Objective.
To confirm that physical activity program improves the symptoms of dementia and the most effective physical activity was selected to help establish exercise programs.
Methods.
Three databases, PubMed, Science Direct, and Willey online, were used to collect articles.
The databases were published between January 2005 and December 2015.
Keywords such as “dementia,” and “physical activity” were used in searching for papers.
As a result, nine studies were selected in the second screening of the meta-analyses.
Results.
The improvement in the dementia symptom of physical capacity was 1.05 (high effect size, 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.73), ability of activity of daily living was 0.73 (slightly high effect size, 95% CI: 0.23 to 1.23), cognitive function was 0.46 (medium effect size, 95% CI: 0.26 to 0.66), and psychological state was 0.39 (lower than the medium effect size, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.77).
Conclusion.
The physical activity for patients with dementia had an effect on the improvement of physical capacity and combined exercise was the most effective physical activity.
