Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe different progressive neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Symptoms can range from memory loss to problems with movement. There’s currently no cure, but one study, published in the Neuroimage: Clinical journal showed six months of strength training slowed and even halted the degeneration of the hippocampus and its subregions a year after the exercise.
