Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases the risk of dementia/loss of cognitive performance in old age. Regular physical activity is considered a health protective factor. This study analyzes possible relationships between endurance performance and cognitive performance as well as the individual alpha-peak frequency (iAPF, neurophysiological indicator of cognitive arousal and alertness) in T2DM patients (n=10, 60–79 years). The subjects participated in an endurance test, an electroencephalography and various cognition tests (mini-mental state examination, trail making test, determination test, response inhibition test). In addition, their glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level was determined. No simple relationships between maximum exercise time and the cognition test outcomes or iAPF were identified. Multiple regression analyses showed no significant influence of endurance performance, age and HbA1c on the target variables. Endurance performance, as specified in this experimental set-up, does not seem to be a suitable predictor of cognitive performance in this particular patient group.
