Summary
This study looked at whether a resistance exercise program (like lifting weights) can help preserve brain health and thinking skills in older adults who have memory or thinking problems due to small vessel disease in the brain. 91 participants were randomly assigned to either a resistance training group or a stretching and relaxation group. The goal was to see if strength training could slow damage to the brain's white matter and improve cognitive function.
