Background/Objectives: The progressive increase in the aging population highlights need for interventions aimed at preserving cognitive health and overall well-being older adults. This study to assess impact of a structured training program on psychological well-being, executive function performance, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor levels (BDNF) adults from Mexican geriatric center. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with nonequivalent control group was conducted. Thirty-two were assigned either stimulation intervention or group. consisted 120 individually sessions, each lasting approximately 60 min, delivered five times per week over 24 weeks. Independent neuropsychologists, blinded allocation, assessed (BANFE-3), depressive symptoms (Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale), autonomy daily living (Barthel Index), quality life (WHOQOL-OLD) before after intervention. Serum BDNF also measured. Results: showed significant improvements function, symptoms, independence activities, life, while no changes. Additionally, an expression post-intervention. Conclusions: effectively improved emotional autonomy, These findings highlight importance integrating into care. For nursing practice, this underscores key role nurses can play delivering promote health, independence, stability among institutionalized non-institutionalized

Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been described as a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity affecting cognitive, emotional, social functioning. While pharmacological behavioral treatments remain primary, physical activity (PA) (digital non-digital versions) emerged great complementary intervention due to its potential impact on executive functions, emotional regulation, neurobiological markers. Objectives: This study aimed assess the effects of PA ADHD symptoms, function, exploring new practical applications in digital treatment. Methods: narrative review assessed 132 studies published between 1 January 2010 2025, ensuring inclusion most recent relevant findings. The was conducted Scopus, PubMed, Web Science, using predefined combination terms related ADHD, activity, neuroplasticity, regulation. Results: Regular improves attention, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility ADHD. Aerobic exercise enhances sustained high-intensity training impulse coordinative activities boost flexibility. Non-digital innovations, such exergaming wearable fitness trackers, offer promising solutions improve adherence regimens, reinforcing their role key management. Conclusions: could be valuable for through hybrid approach that may functioning while addressing comorbidities.

Physical rehabilitation complements the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). The applied physical exercises are effective in PD by promoting activity-dependent neuroplasticity. main aim this study was to assess effect a 16-week moderate-intensity functional program (FPR) on concentration mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its precursor (proBDNF) blood serum severity symptoms quality life people with PD. People (Hoehn Yahr stage 3) were randomly assigned experimental control (CG) groups. FPR participated movement training improve mobility, motor coordination, balance. Pre- post-intervention assessments included levels proBDNF, BDNF, MDS-UPDRS sub-scales, PDQ-39 measured. In group, statistically significant increase proBDNF 39.42% (p = 0.006) observed, as well an improvement non-motor aspects daily functioning, complications, overall life. No changes BDNF observed. results indicate that moderately intensive enhances mechanisms, primarily through regulating improving functions patients underline potential targeted programs neuroplasticity clinical outcomes
