Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will determine the effects of simultaneous exercise and cognitive training on cognitive function in healthy older adults. Specifically, this study will compare the use of a tablet-based cognitive training system while exercising with exercise alone, cognitive training alone, and a neutral control condition on cognition.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Simultaneous exercise and cognitive training

Participants in this arm will engage in a 12-week intervention that combines physical exercise and cognitive tablet-based training. This intervention involves use of an exercise bicycle while engaging in cognitive tasks on a tablet computer three times per week.
