Area of Science:

Gerontology
Neuroscience
Exercise Physiology

Background:

Cognitive decline is a common concern during and after menopause.
Evidence for multicomponent exercise benefits on postmenopausal women's cognition is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the effects of a short-term multicomponent exercise program on executive function in postmenopausal women.

Main Methods:

Thirty postmenopausal women were divided into control and exercise groups.
The exercise group completed a 2-week program of aerobic, strength, flexibility, and balance exercises.
Executive function was assessed using the Stroop test and global cognition with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

Main Results:

The exercise group demonstrated improved Stroop test performance, including faster inhibition and fewer errors.
Significant improvements were observed in all Stroop test tasks (color naming, word reading, inhibition, switching).
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores significantly improved in the exercise group.

Conclusions:

A short-term multicomponent exercise program effectively enhances executive function and global cognitive function in postmenopausal women.
This exercise intervention shows potential for improving cognitive health during postmenopause.
