Can a Goal-Setting exercise program help black adults stay sharp?

NCT ID NCT06769022

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a goals-based exercise program designed for Black adults aged 45-65 who are not very active. The program aimed to see if it could help people exercise more and learn what they liked or didn't like about it. Researchers worked with a community group to make the program culturally relevant. The study was small, with 21 participants, and focused on whether the program was practical and acceptable, not on proving it prevents cognitive decline.

Goal-setting and exercise intensity program

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a tailored exercise program that helps Black adults stay active and potentially slow cognitive decline.

What could go wrong

This was a very small, early feasibility study with only 21 participants, so results may not apply to larger groups. It tested whether the program was acceptable, not whether it actually prevents cognitive decline.
