They should be physically inactive, doing less than 150 minutes of planned exercise per week, and able to sit independently for at least 15 minutes. Those with significant mental or physical disabilities, severe hearing or vision loss, insufficient decision-making capacity, lack of safety awareness, current participation in similar research, or unwillingness to be assigned randomly can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The 'Pro-Home MeC' study tests a physical activity program called 'Gentle Moves' designed for older adults with MCI or mild dementia in a memory clinic setting. The goal is to see if the program is doable and liked by participants while also checking its effect on brain function.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since 'Gentle Moves' involves light physical activities tailored for older adults with cognitive impairments, side effects might include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue but are expected to be minimal given the gentle nature of the exercises.
