Dementia Risk and Dynamic Response to Exercise

This trial is testing how a single session of moderate aerobic exercise changes brain blood flow and blood biomarkers in older adults who carry the APOE4 gene. Researchers will measure these biological responses right after exercise to learn what exercise does in the brain of someone at higher Alzheimer's risk. This is a Phase NA study, meaning it is an observational or measurement-focused investigation, not a drug trial.
