Exercise program for early memory loss in African Americans
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You self-identify as African American
- You are age 60 or older
- You can safely do exercise and have your health conditions checked by the study doctor
- You’re willing to be randomly assigned and attend group sessions
- You live nearby and can travel to study visits and sessions for about 13 months
- You must have mild cognitive impairment (not dementia) based on specific memory/thinking test results

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.
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 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 tests whether a personalized exercise program can help improve memory, thinking ability, and physical strength in people aged 60–85 with mild cognitive impairment (early memory or thinking problems that don't severely affect daily life). The goal is to see if exercise can slow or improve these changes.
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 an “adaptive” exercise plan that adjusts over time to help improve aerobic fitness and your body’s fitness response in people with mild memory problems or early Alzheimer’s. It may help you safely build the kind of fitness that supports brain health, while researchers monitor changes with fitness testing and blood work.
