Brain in Motion II Study
Alzheimer’s DiseaseThe Brain In Motion 2 Study is examining the relationship between exercise, cerebral blood flow, and cognition in older adults who are at increased risk of Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias and the role that exercise might play in the prevention of cognitive decline.
We are looking for 264 individuals to volunteer in an 18-month randomized controlled trial, which includes either a six-month aerobic exercise program, or a six-month stretch and strength program. All parking expenses, as well as access and supervised training at the University of Calgary, Mount Royal University, or 1-2 other community-based facilities will be covered by the study.
