Phase N/A

Brief description of study.

The purpose of this project is to determine the effects of physical training on fitness, thinking, mood, and daily living skills.

Detailed description of study

We are proposing a pilot study to provide preliminary data demonstrating adherence to the proposed exercise intervention in the target sample (persons with MCI). This information on adherence in the target population will be used as preliminary data to support a large R01 submission of an RCT of the efficacy of exercise training to improve brain structure and function in patients with MCI.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Healthy
  • Age: 65 years - 100 years
  • Gender: All

This study investigates the effects of physical training on fitness, thinking, mood, and daily living skills in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Mild cognitive impairment is a condition where individuals experience noticeable changes in thinking and memory, but these changes are not severe enough to interfere significantly with daily life. The study aims to understand how exercise can impact these areas in people with MCI.

Participants will engage in an exercise program designed to assess adherence and its effects on brain structure and function. The study will collect data on how well participants stick to the exercise routine and any changes in their cognitive abilities and mood. This information will help in planning larger studies in the future.

  • Who can participate: The study is looking for individuals aged 50 to 75 diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Participants should be willing to engage in a physical exercise program.
  • Study details: Participants will take part in a structured exercise program. The study will monitor their adherence to the exercise routine and any changes in cognitive abilities and mood.
