Muscula helps to prevent Alzheimer' s disease and improves the independence of people with the disease.

The article discusses the benefits of strength training (musculação) in preventing Alzheimer's disease and improving the independence of those diagnosed with it. It highlights biological mechanisms such as myokines produced during muscle contraction, which support brain health by promoting neural connections and cognitive function. The piece includes personal stories of individuals like Rogério Beck, who has Alzheimer's, and his wife Karin, who exercises to prevent the condition. Neurologist Paulo Caramelli emphasizes physical activity as a crucial non-pharmacological intervention against dementia, noting that sedentary lifestyles are major modifiable risk factors. Researcher Luiz Sinésio Neto recommends multi-component exercise regimens combining strength training, aerobic activities, balance, and mobility exercises, citing a 2015 study showing improved cognitive performance among participants.
