Resistance training for mild cognitive impairment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether resistance training (exercises using weights or bands) can help people with mild cognitive impairment improve their thinking and memory. It's for those who are able to walk a bit and are ready to take part in supervised sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild cognitive impairment – meaning memory or thinking problems that are worse than normal for your age, but not severe enough to be dementia.
- You must be able to stand and walk a short distance, with or without a cane (scoring at least 3 on a test called the SPPB).
- You are willing to join the training sessions and work with the research team.
- You can give your permission to be in the study, either by signing a form or saying so.
- You must not have severe dementia, a recent fracture (in the last 3 months), color blindness, or a serious health issue that would make training hard.

This study tests whether regular physical exercise can improve memory and thinking skills in people 65 and older who have mild cognitive impairment. Researchers want to see if staying active helps protect brain function.
This study tests whether combining mental exercises with gentle physical activities can help people with mild memory problems think and remember better. It is for older adults who have noticed their memory slipping but can still take part in group activities.
This study tests whether a mix of physical exercise and computer brain training can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help by strengthening memory skills and supporting brain health through supervised activity and computer-based practice.
This trial tests an approach to improve learning and memory in people age 60+ with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (a specific type of early memory problem). It may help by supporting memory and learning skills, but it also has medication and health-history requirements.
This study tests if a program that combines light physical activity with simple mental tasks can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is for people who are not already exercising regularly and do not take memory medications.
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can improve thinking skills and daily function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help slow memory decline and keep you independent longer.
