Exercise and Memory in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Decline
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether regular physical exercise can improve memory and thinking skills in people 65 and older who have mild cognitive impairment. Researchers want to see if staying active helps protect brain function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You have mild cognitive impairment (mild memory or thinking problems, not severe dementia)
- You do not have serious heart disease, stroke, or other major health conditions that would make exercise unsafe
- You can understand instructions and communicate clearly enough to participate in tests and answer questions
- You are willing to sign a consent form and commit to the study

This study tests whether a mix of physical exercise and computer brain training can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help by strengthening memory skills and supporting brain health through supervised activity and computer-based practice.
This study tests whether combining mental exercises with gentle physical activities can help people with mild memory problems think and remember better. It is for older adults who have noticed their memory slipping but can still take part in group activities.
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can improve thinking skills and daily function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help slow memory decline and keep you independent longer.
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 if a program that combines light physical activity with simple mental tasks can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is for people who are not already exercising regularly and do not take memory medications.
This study tests whether resistance training (exercises using weights or bands) can help people with mild cognitive impairment improve their thinking and memory. It's for those who are able to walk a bit and are ready to take part in supervised sessions.
