Can dancing help protect aging brains from Alzheimer's?
NCT ID NCT05597124
Summary
This study is testing whether two different exercise programs—cardio-dance fitness versus strength, flexibility, and balance training—can improve brain health and reduce Alzheimer's disease risk in older African Americans. Researchers will enroll 280 sedentary adults aged 60+ to participate in six-month exercise programs while measuring brain function, cognitive performance, and genetic factors. The goal is to understand how exercise affects the brain and whether certain genetic profiles influence how much benefit people receive from physical activity.
