Low-intensity Physical-cognitive Exercise and Cognitive Function
This trial tests whether a low-intensity exercise program that combines physical movement with cognitive tasks can improve brain function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Participants do the combined workout three times a week for three months, and researchers measure cognitive performance and biological markers in the blood. This is a Phase NA behavioral trial — it is studying whether the approach works, not a drug being reviewed for approval.
