Brief summary

Regular physical activity is now recognized as a key element of good physical and mental health and this all ages. MAIN GOAL : Evaluate the effectiveness of physical training associated with a cognitive training in improving the cognitive function of patients diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). DESIGN : Controlled randomized monocentric and prospective study with clinical benefit for the patient with three groups : one physical training and cognitive exercise group, one physical training without cognitive exercise group and one control group. In agreement with the literature on the effects of physiological stress on cognitive performance, the investigators expect the best cognitive test scores in groups with exercise training compared with controls (35% versus 80% error), and better scores on the MMSE, IALD, depression Scale, Index of Pittsburg sleep quality and quality of Life Questionnaire. Furthermore the investigators hypothesize that this positive effect is greater in the physical training and cognitive exercise group compared with the physical training group only.

Interventions

OTHERPhysical Training and cognitive activity (EPC group)

The patients of the EPC group will realize 2 weekly sessions of 20 minutes of pédalage. During the exercise, the patients will realize a series of tests of decision-making and perceptive cognitive capacity.

OTHERPhysical training (EP group)

The patients of the group (EP) will realize 2 weekly sessions of 20 minutes of pédalage.

OTHERcontrol group

no physical training and no cognitive activity

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
effectiveness of physical trainingup to 3 monthsAssess the effectiveness of physical training associated with a cognitive training in improving the cognitive functions of patients diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). We expect the best cognitive test scores in groups with exercise training compared with controls (35% versus 80% error), and better scores on the MMSE, IALD, depression Scale, Index of Pittsburg sleep quality and quality of Life Questionnaire.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cognitive improvementup to 3 monthsAssess the cognitive improvement after three months and after cessation of the intervention. Assess the impact of the intervention on the cognitive and behavioral, 3 months after cessation of training with maintenance of physical activity by patients.
