Strength training with mental engagement for Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a strength training program that also engages the mind, to see if it improves health, physical fitness, and quality of life for people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Participants will attend weekly sessions in Seville.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease (sometimes called stage 4).

- Be on a stable set of medications for at least 30 days before starting.
- Be available to attend weekly in-person training sessions in Seville.

This trial combines aerobic exercise and cognitive training to help seniors who may be at genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if this combination supports thinking and memory.
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.
This study tests whether combining aerobic exercise with cognitive training can help older adults who are at risk for Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if this combined approach can slow or prevent memory decline.
This study tests whether a healthy lifestyle program—combining nutrition advice and exercise training—can help protect brain health in people with early memory problems. It may be a good fit if you have mild cognitive concerns and are ready to make positive changes.
This study tests whether combining physical exercises with mental tasks can improve thinking and memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. You would do simple activities that use both your brain and body at the same time.
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.
