Quiroga Escudero Medicina Non Self linear Exercise Alzheime r Objective: Alzheimer’s disease has been studied from various areas of knowledge (biomarkers, brain structure, behavior, cognitive impairment). Our aim was to examine the effects of an exercises protocol developed using complexity theory concepts. Method: Exerciseimprovesneuroplasticity(neuronalabilitytochangeandadaptasaresultofexperience) through mental and physical skills linked to cognitive-associative brain circuits. Introducing controlled physicalandcognitivestimuli,self-organizationandconnectivityamongbrainsystemsenhance.Weused tasks with non-linear outputs (several solutions) and learning as order parameter. Tasks were performed simultaneously, at the edge of the error seeking self-organized criticality. Results: Screening tests data showed a reduction in cognitive impairment, which suggests a reduction disease progression, in terms of executive function. There was a marked improvement in the physical tests: 30seconds chair stand test (PRE: 8.78 ± 3.46; POST: 9.44 ± 3.68 repetitions) and foot up and go test (PRE: 11.95 ± 5.19; POST: 11.69 ± 4.43seconds). Conclusion: Results showed that patient’s self-organization was increased; behaviors atrophied or inhibited reappeared. Using these controlled perturbations, Alzheimer’s Disease patients were able to manifest improvements in both their mental and physical abilities. 2017 artículo científico 1888-7546 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=323352592006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3233 Revista Andaluza de Medicina del Deporte application/pdf Junta de Andalucía Revista Andaluza de Medicina del Deporte (España) Num.3 Vol.10
