Article Type: Article Commentary Abstract: BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased sedentary behaviour and poorer health among office workers. Exergaming is a technology-driven mode of exercise that can improve health while physically distancing. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this commentary was to explain the benefits of exergaming on physical function, psychological health, and cognition among office workers. RESULTS: Exergaming improves these health outcomes, reduces pain, and decreases the risk for chronic disease. It is easily accessible on smart devices and can be performed both indoors and outdoors. CONCLUSIONS: Twenty-one minutes of exergaming per day can improve health outcomes and reduce the risk of pain …and disease. Employers and policy-makers should consider promoting exergaming among office workers.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the association between physical activity and cognition domains among people living with dementia. Methods: Participants living with dementia in residential care facilities (complete case analysis: n = 24/42) completed a battery of cognitive tests (global cognition : Montreal Cognitive Assessment; executive function : Trail-Making Test, Digit Span Forward Test; perception and orientation : Benton Judgement of Line Orientation Test; language : Boston Naming Test; learning and …memory : Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test; complex attention : Digit Symbol Substitution Test). Participants wore an actigraphy monitor on their non-dominant wrist over seven days. We conducted a linear regression for total physical activity (independent variable) with race (white/black), fall risk (Morse Fall Scale), and the number of comorbidities (Functional Comorbidities Index) as covariates, and cognitive tests as variables of interest. Results: Participants were primarily male (75%), white (87.5%), and 50%had unspecified dementia (Alzheimer’s disease: 33%). Greater physical activity was associated with poorer global cognition, better executive function, and better learning and memory (p s < 0.05). Physical activity was not related to visuospatial perception, language, or complex attention. Conclusions: Physical activity may preserve executive function and learning and memory among people living with dementia. Wandering is more common in later stages of dementia, which may explain greater physical activity observed with lower global cognition. Regularly assessing physical activity may be useful in screening and monitoring cognitive changes.

However, the effects of exercise on falls in PWD are unclear. Objective: To conduct a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the efficacy of exercise to reduce falls, recurrent falls, and injurious falls relative to usual care among PWD. Methods: We included peer-reviewed RCTs evaluating any exercise mode on falls and related injuries among medically diagnosed PWD aged ≥55years (international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) ID:CRD42021254637). We excluded studies that did not solely involve PWD and were not the primary publication examining falls. We …searched the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group’s Specialized Register and grey literature on 08/19/2020 and 04/11/2022; topical categories included dementia, exercise, RCTs, and falls. We evaluated the risk of bias (ROB) using the Cochrane ROB Tool-2 and study quality using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials. Results: Twelve studies were included (n = 1,827; age = 81.3±7.0 years; female = 59.3%; Mini-Mental State Examination = 20.1±4.3 points; intervention duration = 27.8±18.5 weeks; adherence = 75.5±16.2%; attrition = 21.0±12.4%). Exercise reduced falls in two studies [Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) range = 0.16 to 0.66; fall rate range: intervention = 1.35–3.76 falls/year, control = 3.07–12.21 falls/year]; all other studies (n = 10) reported null findings. Exercise did not reduce recurrent falls (n = 0/2) or injurious falls (n = 0/5). The RoB assessment ranged from some concerns (n = 9) to high RoB (n = 3); no studies were powered for falls. The quality of reporting was good (78.8±11.4%). Conclusion: There was insufficient evidence to suggest that exercise reduces falls, recurrent falls, or injurious falls among PWD. Well-designed studies powered for falls are needed.
