Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to test whether differing levels of physical fitness affects patterns of motor dexterity and brain activity that have been shown to differ due to aging. Testing will take place at the Atlanta VA Medical Center and at Emory University. Participants will be healthy adults within the target age range of 60-85 for the study. The study will require multiple visits over 15 months. There will be about 64 people volunteering for this study.
