Exercise and brain health study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how aging and exercise affect the brain's ability to clear waste products. It may help researchers understand how to keep the brain healthy as we age.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies how exercise affects brain energy use to protect against aging. It tests if being very active over many years helps keep the brain healthy.
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.
This study looks at how physical activity affects brain health in healthy adults. It compares people who exercise regularly with those who are not very active, to see if staying active helps keep the brain sharp.
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 study looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
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.
