Abstract :

In the elderly, physical ability and physiological function of organs will decrease and various kinds of disease began to emerge. To handle the elderly to maintain their quality of life then do physical activity such as aerobic exercise. However, aerobic exercise began to be abandoned and shifted to the brain gym. This condition is skewed because the aim of improving brain health as well as efforts to improve the quality of life of elderly people becomes less optimal. So far, the benefits of aerobic exercise and sports mix of the brain that can empower the physical fitness and brain health in elderly has not been found. This paper aims to find a model combination of aerobic exercise and exercise the brain in order to further improve the physical fitness and brain health. The combination of aerobic exercise and exercise the brain in elderly is not only good for physical fitness, but also can improve brain health. Participation in the program of regular exercise on the elderly is a very effective modality to reduce and prevent a decline in function associated with aging problems. Potential benefits from a combination of aerobic exercise and exercise the brain that develops behind the marker of physical fitness at the same time may affect brain health.
