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 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.
