The right to be held in the right will be held in the right. Results: The 5 journal review prior to elderly brain exercise most experienced mild cognitive impairment (17-23) after brain exercise developed an increased cognitive function to no cognitive impairment (24-30), Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted with a statistical test score p value < 0,05.
