Neuroplasticity: The Effects of Exercise Training on Cognitive and Affective Functioning of Older People

Healthy Ageing Clinical Trial

Official title:
Neuroplasticity: The Effects of Exercise Training on Cognitive and Affective Functioning of Older People

Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the effects of exercise on older people's cognitive and affective functions, and the possible underlying neurobiological pathways.

Clinical Trial Description

Population aging is accelerating. The socioeconomic burden associated with an aging population calls for timely action for promoting brain health. The human brain has the capacity for plastic reorganization through learning and experience. Physical activity could induce plasticity and is important in the prevention of functional decline and increased survival. In this study, the effects of Qigong and stretching exercise on affective and cognitive function among the healthy elderly are investigated. This study is proposed to invite 200 participants (100 in each intervention condition). The investigators acquire data from questionnaires, assessments, neurocognitive tests, magnetic resonance imaging and blood samples at baseline (before the intervention) and post-intervention. ;
