    Up to 4 months

  • Measuring the effect of training on the psychological performance by using questionnaire: quality of life (QoL-AD)

    Up to 4 months

  • Stress test

    Up to 4 months

  • Stress test

    Up to 4 months

Study Arms (2)

Endurance Training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The first group of 40 people will do endurance training; 20 of them will perform a continuous exercise on cycle ergometer at a power equivalent to 70% of the maximal heart rate, twice a week. The other group will do Interval Training, with a four minute long base and one minute long peak, twice a week. The base workload will be equivalent to an intensity of 60% of the maximal heart rate and the peak will be equivalent to 80% of the maximal heart rate.

Device: Endurance Training

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

20 persons will be in the control group and they will not perform the endurance training. However, they will have 9 therapeutic education meetings.

Other: therapeutic education meetings

Interventions

40 people will submitted to endurance training: 20 will perform a continuous training and 20 will perform an interval training. The variables that will be analyzed are maximum aerobic power, endurance, heart rate, prehension strength, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), REY's test, biological examination and level of BDNF plasma, before and after the intervention and one month after the end of the intervention and one month after the end of the intervention.

Endurance Training

Group of 20 people will be the control group and will not perform ET. However, they will have 9 therapeutic education meetings.
