This study was aimed to find the effect of low
intensity aerobic exercise and resistance training on
attention of geriatric population. The objective of the
study was to find the difference between pre-test and
post-test valves of low intensity Aerobic exercise,
Resistance training and Both on Attention by using
Stroop test (color-word test). 30 Individuals are
participated in the study based on the inclusion and
exclusion criteria. Individuals were categorized into
three groups A, B and C. Group A were given low
intensity aerobic exercise which includes walking.
Group B were given resistance training which includes
strength training using Dumbbells. Group C were given
both low intensity aerobic and resistance training.
Hence Group A has lower time to complete the Stroop
test, Group B has also lower time to complete the Stroop
the test and Group C has much lower time to complete
the Stroop test. The study shows that individuals who
were performed both low intensity aerobic and
resistance training has a significant improvement in
attention than the aerobic and resistance training given
separately.
