The overarching aim of this project is to implement and evaluate a proven cognitive training regimen in combination with a community exercise program among older adults who attend wellness exercise programs at the YMCA. To support this aim, the investigators have developed a collaboration with the YMCA of Kitchener-Waterloo, which offer exercise programs targeted to older adults. The specific objectives are: (1) to evaluate the feasibility of a combined exercise and cognitive training in a community-setting among older adults; and (2) to conduct a preliminary evaluation and comparison of changes in cognitive function, physical function, well-being and self-efficacy with 12-weeks of combined exercise and cognitive training versus exercise alone. The hypothesis for each objective are as follows: (1) It is anticipated that this program will be feasible to implement and will be well accepted by the participants and exercise providers. (2) The investigators may not have the power to find statistically significant differences between the control and experimental groups for physical and cognitive function. However, the investigators expect to observe positive changes between the pre- and post-assessments, suggesting improved cognitive function and mobility as a result of the 12-week program.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Recruitment Rate | Total number of people enrolled divided by the total number of people invited to participate (multiplied by 100 to calculate a percentage) | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Primary | Completion Rate | Percentage of people who completed the full program and all assessments | Through study completion, 12 weeks | |
Primary | Attendance | Percentage of people who attended program sessions (exercise and cognitive training components) | Throughout entire intervention (12 weeks, 2 sessions/week per group) | |
Primary | Change in Participant and Instructor Rating of experience, satisfaction, and feasibility of program | Participant and instructors rating of program components and overall program (via hand-written questionnaire). Participants and instructors must rate their level of agreement (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = no opinion, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree) with various statements. The higher the rating, the greater the satisfaction. They also must rate if the difficulty of the program was optimal, somewhat easy or hard, or too easy or hard. They must also specify how much money they would be willing to spend on the program. They are also given an opportunity to record optional additional comments/recommendation. | Mid-point (6 weeks) and post-program (12 weeks) | |

Primary | Participant and Instructor perceived program experience and satisfaction | One-on-one interview with researcher, answering broad questions about their experience in the program and study | Post-program (at 12 weeks) | |
Primary | Participant and Instructor observer-perceived program experience and satisfaction | Experience of participants and instructors will also be observed by the researcher (observational notes will be taken by the researcher during each class). No names of participants and instructors will be recorded. | Throughout entire intervention (12 weeks, 2 sessions/week per group) | |
Primary | Education | Self-reported years of formal education and training (training years for instructors only) using basic demographics questionnaire | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Primary | Occupation | Self-reported previous and current occupations using basic demographics questionnaire | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Primary | Medical Condition | Self-reported previous and current medical conditions using basic demographics questionnaire | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Primary | Medications | Self-reported previous and current medications using basic demographics questionnaire | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Primary | Montreal Cognitive Assessment (global cognitive function) | Using the Montreal Cognitive Assessments (brief clinical tool) to assess visual/spatial abilities, working memory, executive functioning, language, abstraction, and orientation). Will be used to describe participants' baseline cognitive status (a score out of 30 is measured). | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Primary | Physical Activity Level | Using the International Physical Activities Questionnaire (IPAQ) to assess physical activity level based on self-reported frequency and duration of job-related, house work-related, transportation-related, and leisure-related physical activities done in the past week. METS-minutes/week will be calculated and reported (i.e. take the number of minutes doing an activity in the past week and multiply by the appropriate metabolic equivalent, which will vary based on the intensity of the physical activity). | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Primary | Participant cognitive activity | Using a cognitive activity scale (score of 0-4 per activity) that requires participants to self-report how often they typically engage in a variety of mentally stimulating activities (i.e. playing card games, reading, cooking, etc.) The more frequently they engage in the activity, the higher the score. | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Primary | Participant social activity | Using a scale (score of 0-3 per group) that requires participants to self-report how often they typically interact (face-to-face or virtually) with different groups of people (i.e. their spouse, family, friends, co-workers, etc.). The more frequently they interact with the group, the higher the score. | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Primary | Participant and Instructor Age | Self-reported years of age using basic demographics questionnaire | Pre-program (baseline) | |
Secondary | Change in Stroop Task Performance | STROOP task which assesses the length of time (seconds) it takes for a participant to correctly name a coloured square (test 1), read the name of a colour (test 2), and say the name of the colour that a word is printed in (test 3). Number of corrected and uncorrected errors are also recorded. | Pre-program (baseline) and post-program (12 weeks) | |
Secondary | Change in Trail Making Task Performance | Trails Making Test Part A and B. Part A assesses visual search (participants must connect numbered circles in ascending numerical order (1-2-3-etc). Part B assesses working memory and task-switching (participants must connect circles in ascending numerical and alphabetical order (1-A-2-B- etc.).

Time to complete test is measured (seconds) and assessor's observational notes of performance are taken. | Pre-program (baseline) and post-program (12 weeks) | |
Secondary | Change in Four Square Step Test Performance | Agility and functional balance will be assessed using the Four Square Step Test (participants must step over lines that are set up in a cross formation, creating 4 quadrants. They must step forward, backward, and side to side in a specific pattern (i.e. from quadrant 1 to quadrant 2, to quadrant 3, to quadrant 4). Time to complete test is recorded in seconds. | Pre-program (baseline) and post-program (12 weeks) | |
Secondary | Change in Sit-to-Stand Performance | Lower body strength will be assessed using the 5 Time Sit-to-Stand (participants must complete 5 sit-to-stands from a chair as fast as they can). Time to complete all 5 is recorded in seconds. | Pre-program (baseline) and post-program (12 weeks) | |

Secondary | Change in Overall Well-being | Well-being will be self-reported using the "Vitality-Plus Scale" (self-reported general health questionnaire - rating of sleep quality, appetite, general energy level, etc.). Participants rate their degree of health on a scale from 1 - 5 (the higher the rating, the better their perceived overall well-being). | Pre-program (baseline) and post-program (12 weeks) | |
Secondary | Change in Exercise-related Self-Efficacy | Bandura Scale (named after the researcher who developed it) - self-reported rating of confidence (0 - 100%) to continue exercising routinely in various hypothetical situations (i.e. if one is sick, if the weather is poor, etc). The greater the confidence, the higher the score | Pre-program (baseline) and post-program (12 weeks) |
