Dementias correspond to a general group of symptoms, being neurodegenerative and progressive diseases. In this sense, among the different protocols of physical exercise, resistance training may become a recognized intervention for dementia, since it seems to modulate the levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and homocysteine, two potential markers for the performance of cognitive functions. The aim of the present study was to systematically review evidence on the effects of resistance training on the cognitive functions of patients with dementia. Pubmed/Medline, PsycInfo, Web of Science, Scopus, SportDiscus, Lilacs, Cochrane library, EMBASE and Scielo databases were used. For registration and selection of articles, the Rayyan software was used. Likewise, data extraction was performed in pairs, using a specific form. The TESTEX tool was used to assess the risk of bias and methodological quality of the included studies. The systematic review complied with PRISMA (2020) regulations. Two independent reviewers carried out searches in the databases, finding 2071 articles. After analysis by title, abstract and full article, 6 articles were included. Four randomized controlled clinical trials, one controlled study and one pilot were included, following the acronym PICOS: patients with dementia (P); Resistance training (I); Control group (C) and Cognitive functions (O); Randomized, non-randomized controlled clinical trials or quasi-experimental study design (S). The main result of this review was to bring evidence of resistance training in the cognitive functions of patients with dementia, suggesting frequency, intensity, session time, protocol duration and volume of resistance exercise. In conclusion, involvement in an exercise program between 4 and 16 weeks did not lead to significant adaptations in cognitive functions linked to the effects of resistance training in elderly patients with dementia, requiring greater production in a number of randomized controlled clinical trials for greater clarity of its effects.
