In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Aerobic exercise and Stretching/balance/range of motion exercise for Mild Cognitive Impairment and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 296 participants across 14 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluates the effects of physical exercise on cognition, functional status, brain atrophy and blood flow, and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in adults with a mild memory impairment. Half of participants will participate in a stretching-balance-range of motion exercise program, while the other half will participate in a moderate/high aerobic training program.

Timeline
Interventions
Moderate/high intensity aerobic exercise will involve training at 70-80% heart rate reserve for 30 min, with an additional 10 minutes for warm-up and 5 minutes for cool-down, 4 times per week, for 12 months while supervised twice per week by a study-certified trainer at a participating YMCA .
The stretching/balance/range of motion program will involve exercise at or below 35% heart rate reserve for 30 min, with an additional 10 minutes for warm up and 5 minutes for cool-down, 4 times per week, for 12 months while supervised twice per week by a study-certified trainer at a participating YMCA.
