Comparing outdoor and indoor exercise for older adults' thinking
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares how doing exercise outdoors versus indoors might affect memory and thinking in older adults. If you are an active older adult, this trial could help show which exercise setting benefits your brain more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether thinking about or watching movements can help improve how older women move and think. You would be asked to imagine or observe simple actions, and the effects on your body and mind will be measured.
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.
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 a supervised exercise plan can improve executive thinking (like planning and task control) in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Researchers also look for brain changes using an MRI.
This study compares two training methods that may improve balance and daily function in older adults: doing thinking tasks while moving (dual task training) and learning through watching movements (action observation therapy). It aims to see which method is more helpful for people over 65.
This study looks at whether exercise, brain games, or both can help older adults living in care facilities stay sharp and healthy. You would be assigned to one of these programs to see which helps most.
