Exercise program to help lower Alzheimer’s risk
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured group exercise program can help lower Alzheimer’s disease risk in older African Americans. You would be assigned to a group by chance and asked to attend regular sessions if it’s safe for you to exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You self-identify as African American
- You are 60 years old or older
- You are willing to be placed into a study group by chance
- You can attend regular group exercise sessions
- You are not already doing regular physical activity
- Your health allows safe exercise (for example, you do not have uncontrolled breathing issues or other serious problems that make exercise unsafe)
- You can meet a simple physical test score (Short Physical Performance Battery score 4 or higher)
- You can participate in group conversations and can consent in writing

This study tests whether a structured exercise program can lower Alzheimer’s risk in older African American adults who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You’ll be placed by chance into an exercise group or a comparison group and attend group sessions for about a year.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a structured exercise program can improve brain health in adults age 60 and older who are less active and have early thinking/memory concerns. It may help maintain or improve thinking abilities over time, with medical supervision throughout the study.
This study is for African American caregivers of someone with Alzheimer's or a related dementia. It explores whether a gentle exercise program can help you feel better and manage the stress of caregiving.
This study looks at whether a structured exercise program can help slow down memory and thinking changes in Black adults ages 45–65. You would be asked to take part in a supervised exercise routine over several months, and your health and cognition will be tracked.
This trial tests whether a structured aerobic (heart-pumping) exercise program can improve memory and thinking in older adults who feel memory trouble but have not been diagnosed with dementia. It focuses on people who are “at increased risk” due to common health factors like high blood pressure or diabetes.
This study tests whether a mix of aerobic exercise (like walking or other cardio) and cognitive training (memory/thinking practice) can help seniors who are at genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease. You may be eligible if you have no clinical dementia but show specific brain/memory scores and meet genetic test results.
