The Heart & Mind Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) may represent a portion of the population experiencing early sings of cognitive decline. Systolic hypertension is a major contributor to cognitive impairment. High-intensity aerobic interval training (HIT) yields greater fitness and vascular health improvements compared to moderate-intensity aerobic continuous training (MCT). No randomized controlled trials, however, have investigated the effects HIT or MCT on cognition in older adults with hypertension and SCD. Much less is known regarding whether combining HIT or MCT with mind-motor training would culminate additive benefits to cognition. Therefore, the overarching goal of our research is to deliver a group-based exercise program combining mind-motor training with HIT or MCT to older adults with hypertension and SCD. Participants will be randomized into two groups. Participants in both groups will receive 15 minutes of square stepping exercise (SSE) followed by either 45 minutes of HIT (N=70) or 45 minutes of MCT (N=70). In total, both groups will exercise 60 min/day, 3 days/week for 6 months. The effects of both interventions will be evaluated on systolic and diastolic office/ambulatory blood pressure and global and domain-specific cognitive functioning.
