Active Control

Group I: Combined Exercise + Behavioural CounsellingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The combine exercise intervention will consist of three 30-minute, supervised, remotely-delivered resistance training classes as well as three 30-minute, unsupervised aerobic training (i.e., walking) items each week. Participants will also participate in bi-weekly, 30-40 minute, remotely-delivered behavioural counselling sessions delivered via videoconferencing (i.e., Zoom). The program will be taught by a Registered Kinesiologist via videoconferencing (i.e., Zoom). Participants will be asked to participate in the intervention for 8 weeks.

Group II: Active ControlActive Control1 Intervention

The active control group will participate in three 30-minute, supervised, remotely-delivered classes targeting balance and flexibility. The program will be delivered at a low-intensity by a Registered Kinesiologist via videoconferencing (i.e., Zoom). Participants will be asked to participate in the program for 8 weeks.

What are the primary objectives of this clinical research?

"The primary outcome of this research study will be evaluated over an 8 week period and measure the patient's adherence rate. Secondary outcomes involve assessing Episodic Memory, Language Capacity and Crystallized Cognition; all three are measured using different elements from NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery (Weintraub et al., 2013). The Picture Sequence Memory Test measures participants' ability to remember sequences of pictures with a duration of 10 minutes, while the Picture Vocabulary Test assesses individuals' vocabulary acquisition through 4 images paired with spoken words in 5 minutes or less. Lastly, Crystallized Cognition Composite is composed by averaging two normalized scores that evaluate"
