Email this article Effectiveness of brain training between men and women: a comparative study
Abstract
Background: The aim of the study was to test the effectiveness of brain training on memory function between men and women.
Methods: The study was designed as a comparative design. The 50 samplings who have full filled the selection criteria were selected and they were conveniently divided into two equal groups with the gender differentiation, group A (female) and group B (male). Both the groups underwent 6 sessions of training period for 2-3 months. And they were assessed before and after training using mini mental state examination (MMSE) to know the outcome.
Results: There was a significant difference in the outcome measure MMSE between the group A (female) and group B (male) group after intervention (brain training) at the level 0.05% with p<0.05%. It has been shown that brain training or brain gym exercise had significant improvement in memory and cognitive function between both the groups.
Conclusions: Brain training or brain gym exercise is an effective and feasible mode of practice in any environment to improve the memory function of men and women.
