| Abstract Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of aerobic exercise and Angustifolia gum supplementation on memory function in Alzheimer's patients. The research method was a quasi-experimental one with an experimental group and a control group. Methods: The number of samples was 40 people who were divided into 4 groups: aerobic activity (10 people), Angustifolia gum supplement group (10 people), aerobic activity and Angustifolia gum supplement group (10 people), and control group (10 people). The participants' personal characteristics were collected using a demographic questionnaire, and the Professional-CDR Memory Function Questionnaire (P-CDR) was used to measure the level of memory function. Then, the Angustifolia gum supplement group consumed 400 mg/kg aqueous extract of Angustifolia gum at 9 am for eight weeks (three days a week). The aerobic training group also performed eight weeks (three days a week) on a stationary bicycle at a speed of 1.5 miles per hour in two 5-minute periods, In the Angustifolia gum supplement-exercise group, participants consumed Angustifolia gum aqueous extract (400 mg/kg) at 9 a.m. for eight weeks (three days a week). They then engaged in exercise training similar to the aerobic activity group. Results:In the present study, one-way way ANOVA of variance and Tukey's post hoc test were used. the data results emphasize that eight weeks of aerobic exercise and Angustifolia gum supplementation had a significant effect on memory, orientation, judgment, social activity, housework, personal functioning, and memory in Alzheimer's patients (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: Overall, the results of the present study showed that eight weeks of aerobic exercise, eight weeks of aerobic exercise and Angustifolia gum supplementation, and consumption of Angustifolia gum supplementation had a significant effect on memory function in Alzheimer's patients. |
