Aquatic exercise is popular among the elderly because its stress on joint is less compared to other exercises. Also, aquatic exercise has many positive factors for improving cognitive function as sense of sight, hearing, and touching arises simultaneously. Thus, the purpose of this research was to determine the effect of combined aquatic exercise with music therapy, art therapy and learning therapy on improvements of cognitive function in elderly women with mild dementia. Twenty two women, aged 65 to 74, participated in this study. They were randomly divided into cognitive aquatic exercise (CAE, n=12) or normal aquatic exercise (AE, n=10) group. Both group performed exercise 60 mmll/day, 3 days/week, for 16 weeks at the intensity of 10-13 RPE. CERAD-K's 9 task tests (Verbal Fluency Task, Boston Naming Task, MMSE-KC, Word List Memory Task, Constructional Praxis Task, Word List Recall Task, Word List Recognition Task, Constructional Recall Task, Trail Making Task A, Trail Making Task B) were used to measure cognitive function. CAE significantly (p< .05) improved all 9 task tests, while AE only did Word List Memory Task test. These results indicate that the effect of CAB is superior to AE in improvements of cognitive function by increasing sense of sight, hearing, touching, memorizing. Thus, it suggests that CAB is an appropriate exercise, especially for elderly women with mild dementia.
