Zusammenfassung: | With the increase in longevity in most countries worldwide, the interest and need to know the aging process and its relationship to physical exercise has become important. So the goal of this study was to compare the attention concentrated among older adults who underwent physical training, cognitive and mixed. 40 volunteers were divided into 4 groups: aerobic (GA: accomplished aerobic training), cognitive group (GCG: cognitive activities performed), group cognitive and aerobic (GCA: held joint training) and control group (CG), attention by battery CEPA Toulouse--Pieron. The results for GA, GCG, GCA and GC before and after 6 weeks of study were 106 to 156 points (up 50 points or 47%), 89 to 112 points (up 23 points or 25%), 132.5 to 162.5 (an increase of 30 points or 23%) and 63 to 63 (increase 0 and 0%). Can be concluded that even in old age, participation in a program of aerobic with cognitive activities can delay cognitive decline characteristic of this age. And that professional health care should encourage such practices aiming not only the health of the body, but especially the health of the cognitive and other brain functions. Key Words: Aged, Memory, Physical Exercise. Com a elevacao da longevidade na maioria dos paises mundiais, o interesse e a necessidade de conhecer o processo de envelhecimento e suas relacoes com o exercicio fisico passou a ser importante. Assim o objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar a atencao concentrada entre idosos que realizaram treinamento fisico, cognitivo e misto. 40 voluntarios foram divididos em 4 grupos: grupo aerobio (GA: realizou treinamento aerobio), grupo cognitivo (GCg: realizou atividades cognitivas), grupo cognitivo e aerobio (GCA: realizou treinamento misto) e grupo controle (GC), a atencao atraves da bateria CEPA de Tolouse--Pieron. O resultados para GA, GCg, GCA e GC pre e pos 6 semanas de estudo foram: 106 para 156 pontos (aumento de 50 pontos ou 47%), 89 para 112 pontos (aumento de 23 pontos ou 25%), 132,5 para 162,5 (aumento de 30 pontos ou 23%) e 63 para 63 (aumento 0 e 0%). Pode-se concluir que mesmo em idade avancada, a participacao em um programa de treinamento aerobio juntamente com atividades cognitivas pode adiar o declinio cognitivo caracteristico desta idade. E que os profissionais da area de saude deveriam incentivar tais praticas objetivando nao somente a saude do corpo, mas principalmente a saude da capacidade cognitiva e demais funcoes cerebrais.
