Summary
This study looked at whether regular physical activity can improve thinking and memory in middle-aged adults (40-65) who have a family history of Alzheimer's disease. About 180 participants were randomly assigned to an exercise program or a comparison group and were followed for one year. The goal was to see if exercise helps brain function and if a person's genes (APOE4) change the effect.
