Mapping the scientific research on exercise therapy for Alzheimer’s disease: a scientometric study of hotspots and emerging trends

The research results indicate that interventions using exercise to alleviate the negative symptoms of AD, as well as combining exercise with medication for therapy, are gaining increasing attention from researchers. Meanwhile, novel topics such as exercise and music therapy, the design and implementation of exercise interventions, and neurophysiological mechanisms should also attract scholarly interest. Additionally, exploring the physiological mechanisms behind exercise therapy for AD could be a key focus for future research.

Abstract

The research results indicate that interventions using exercise to alleviate the negative symptoms of AD, as well as combining exercise with medication for therapy, are gaining increasing attention from researchers. Meanwhile, novel topics such as exercise and music therapy, the design and implementation of exercise interventions, and neurophysiological mechanisms should also attract scholarly interest. Additionally, exploring the physiological mechanisms behind exercise therapy for AD could be a key focus for future research.
