AB  - Aging, along with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), is a risk factor for the 
      development of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among older adults. Physical 
      activity is found beneficial for improving the cognitive status among adults with 
      MCI and in even those having dementia. Combined aerobic-cognitive interventions 
      are an engaging substitute or add-on to existing pharmacological management 
      regimens. A 76-year diabetic male having MCI, followed 12 weeks of 
      aerobics-virtual reality (VR)-based cognitive training programme (3days/week). 
      The session comprised of 30 minutes of interactive gaming via xbox-360 Kinect 
      followed by the aerobic phase of 30 minutes using stationary cycle, maintaining 
      the intensity of 40-60% of heart rate reserve (HRR). The cognitive testing 
      included tools for assessing global cognition and executive function. Random 
      plasma glucose level was also noted at baseline, after 6 weeks and 12 weeks 
      post-interventions while vitals including pulse rate, oxygen saturation and blood 
      pressure were documented at baseline and at the end of intervension. Results 
      depict that 12 weeks of aerobic-VR training was effective in improving the 
      cognitive status along with random plasma glucose levels of the patient.
