Physical Exercise for Augmenting Cognitive Health (PEACH)

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

PEACH is a pilot project which is being conducted to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week home-based exercise intervention among Black and African American adults. A secondary aim of the project is to determine whether the exercise intervention improves cognitive and psychological functioning.

Clinical Trial Description

This pilot project aims to address the impact of early life adversity (ELA) on brain health in adulthood by conducting a pilot 12-week physical activity (PA) intervention delivered remotely using aerobic exercise bikes programmed to connect users with a trainer via an app. Investigators will recruit Black and African American individuals between the ages of 30-55 years (N = 40) who are currently sedentary and report experiencing at least one form of ELA prior to the age of 10. This study will be conducted at two sites: the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA, USA and the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica (site investigator: Terrence Forrester). At baseline and following the 12-week intervention, Investigators will collect a harmonized battery of cognitive, behavioral and psychosocial measures. The intervention itself will be home-based and will involve three 60-minute sessions of aerobic exercise per week using a Bluetooth-enable exercise bike. Participants' exercise programs will be supervised remotely by an exercise trainer and individualized depending on their age-adjusted heart rate reserve, with the goal being to have participants reach 50 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise per session by the end of the first 4 weeks of the intervention. The bikes will be outfitted with a tablet featuring an application called Neotiv. The Neotiv application will collect data from the bike regarding timing, duration, and intensity of exercise sessions, which will be securely shared with the exercise trainer to monitor attendance and adherence. The primary goals of this study are to determine whether the home-based exercise program (1) is feasible and acceptable (as measured by adherence and attendance), and (2) promotes improvements in cognitive and psychological functioning among adults who have been exposed to ELA, contingent on the feasibility. We realized that placing the health-related outcomes as primary or secondary outcomes would only make sense if the approach was feasible. Therefore, we revised the primary and secondary outcome measures to reflect the feasibility of the home-based exercise intervention program in terms of adherence and attendance. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
