Fitness and thinking skills in Alzheimer's risk
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how physical fitness relates to thinking skills (like planning and focus) in people who may be at risk for Alzheimer's. You would do some simple fitness tests and thinking tasks to help researchers understand if staying fit can protect your brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 70 years old.
- You can do physical fitness tests like walking or balance exercises.
- You have normal vision (or vision corrected to normal with glasses/contacts).
- You do not have any heart or lung conditions.
- You do not have a memory, thinking, or mental health problem (like dementia, Parkinson's, depression, or schizophrenia).
- You are not taking medications that affect your brain function.

This study looks at how physical fitness connects to thinking skills like planning and memory in older adults. If you join, you will complete fitness tests and thinking tasks to help researchers understand this link.
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 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 looks at how a single session of intense exercise affects brain function and fitness in active older adults. It may help understand how exercise can support thinking and memory as we age.
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 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.
