Fitness and thinking skills in Alzheimer's risk
Part of Cancer 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 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.
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 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 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 how high-intensity exercise affects brain health and thinking abilities in older adults. It may help show if exercise can keep the brain sharp as we age.
