intensities can improve executive function in people with PD ( Murray, Sacheli, Eng, & Stoessl, 2014 ). The exact mechanisms for the exercise-induced improvements in cognitive function in people with PD are still equivocal. However, studies in individuals with and without neurological disorders suggest that

nervous system. Deterioration of brain nerve tissue in older adults is mainly manifested in intellectual function including cognitive function ( Klimova & Dostalova, 2020 ). Decreasing cognitive function is more reflected in memory loss, language expression disorders, mental disorders, and attention loss
The Effects of Poi on Physical and Cognitive Function in Healthy Older Adults

, 2015 ). The aim of this study was to determine if a novel intervention, poi, has a beneficial effect on physical and cognitive function in healthy older adults. Poi is a ball on a string, which is swung in circular patterns around the body. There are many different styles of poi, the earliest known

impairment in older adults ranges from 3% to 42%, based on type and methods used to diagnose ( U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, 2020 ). Given the growing older adult population, it is imperative to find ways to effectively maintain and improve cognitive function ( Centers for Disease Control and
Effects of Acute Aerobic and Resistance Exercise on Cognitive Function and Salivary Cortisol Responses
Chun-Chih Wang, Brandon Alderman, Chih-Han Wu, Lin Chi, Su-Ru Chen, I-Hua Chu, and Yu-Kai Chang
Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses have demonstrated significant positive effects of acute exercise on cognitive function ( Chang, Labban, Gapin, & Etnier, 2012 ; Lambourne & Tomporowski, 2010 ; McMorris & Hale, 2015 ). However, the effects reported to describe the association between

necessary, as it has been observed that exercise has a selective protective effect on the cognitive function of middle-aged women. 3 However, research on the relationship between physical exercise training and cognitive function in healthy adult people remains scarce, particularly in women, who have been

the functioning of older adults may moderate the relation between neighborhood environment and their PA levels. Apart from their physical functioning, older adults’ health status (i.e., biological, individual-level determinant of PA) is also determined by their cognitive functioning. The normal
