Exercise and brain health in healthy adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how exercise affects the brain's natural cleaning system, which removes waste products. If you are generally healthy and have no memory problems, you may be able to join.

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 looks at how long-term aerobic exercise habits relate to brain health in healthy older adults. It compares people who have been very active for 30+ years to see what role exercise plays in protecting the brain as we age.
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 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 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 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.
