Physical activity increases physical fitness and therefore, reduces the rate of cognitive and physical decline in elderly with dementia. Dementia is a neurodegenerative syndrome which occurs due to chronic and progressive abnormalities accompanied by multiple sublime functions such as calculations, learning capacity, language, and decision making. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of physical activity using Brain Vitality Exercises on the physical fitness of elderly with dementia. The method used in this study was the Experimental Method. A total of 10 subjects between the ages of 60-85 years with mild dementia, were treated using Brain Vitality Exercises for 12 times with duration of 25 minutes. Furthermore, they were tested for physical fitness (Testing The Elderly) with 6 minutes walk test (6 MWT), flexibility with Chair seat and reach test (CSRT), muscle strength and endurance with Chair stand (CST) and Arm curl test (ACT), coordination and agility with 8 Foot up and go test (8 FUGT) pre and post treatment. The results of this study showed that the fitness test produced significant results on the CST, CSRT (p value of 0.0296) and 8FUGT, 6MWT (p value of 0.0229) with a 95% confidence level. Therefore, Brain Vitality Exercise has an effect on physical fitness with improvement in muscle tone and cognitive ability among the elderly with dementia.
