Strength training with thinking tasks for Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special strength-training program that also challenges your thinking can improve health, physical fitness, and quality of life for people with early Alzheimer's. You would attend weekly sessions in Seville.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease (stage 4).
- Your score on a memory test (Mini-Mental State Exam) is between 15 and 20.
- You have been taking the same medications for Alzheimer's for at least 30 days.
- You can attend weekly exercise sessions in person in Seville.
- You do not have a heart condition or other serious illness that would make exercise unsafe.

This trial tests whether a combined program of physical exercise and cognitive (thinking/memory) training can help seniors who are not demented yet but are at higher risk for Alzheimer’s. It may benefit people by improving thinking and slowing decline, but you must meet specific screening blood test and cognition criteria.
This study tests whether doing two tasks at once (like walking while talking or counting) can help people with mild Alzheimer's disease improve their thinking and memory. You would take part in training sessions that combine physical movement with mental exercises.
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.
This study tests whether a 12-month exercise program can help protect memory and thinking skills in older adults who have noticed changes in their memory. You would be asked to exercise at home and attend some group classes.
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 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.
