Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a newer type of high intensity interval resistance training in adults 65 years of age or older. The main aims of this study are: 1. To develop study procedures in order to conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the impact of high intensity interval training on cognition in older adults. We will develop procedures for recruitment, screening, data collection, blinded randomization, HIIRT and EA interventions, safety monitoring, and data analyses. 2. To determine the feasibility of using high intensity interval resistance training as an intervention. Feasibility will be shown by; 1) recruiting the target population and meeting our overall patient accrual goal of 30 participants over a 12-week period, 2) achieving an average attendance rate of ≥ 70% of the 24 scheduled sessions in the HIIRT group, 3) at least 80% retention of participants at the final follow-up assessment (week 12), and 4) successful completion of the MRI task (finishing the session with a behavioral accuracy greater than 70%) by at least 80% of participants. Acceptability will be assessed via participants' ratings on a standardized measure of treatment satisfaction and reasons for dropout. Acceptability will be indicated in 2 ways: 70% of the participants report treatment satisfaction on a standard questionnaire, and consistent collection of follow-up data across sites. 3. To examine causal mechanisms and preliminary efficacy. We will examine the relationships among several proposed mediators of the expected treatment effect. We will also examine the mean change and variability of our primary outcomes.
