NCT02774720

Brief Summary

The study is a proof-of-concept, double-blinded randomized, parallel group trial to compare the effectiveness of centre-based and home-based physical activity in helping people with MCI and early dementia meet physical activity recommendations. The primary outcome is achievement of physical activity recommendations. Secondary outcomes include cost-effectiveness and improvements in health and function.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Achievement of Physical Activity

    Percent achievement of physical activity recommendations (150min/wk of moderate or high intensity physical activity) as objectively measured using an activity monitor.

    3 months

  • Change in physical activity

    Change in physical activity as objectively measured using an activity monitor.

    baseline to 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Cost-effectiveness

    3 months

Other Outcomes (11)

  • Change in cognitive function as characterized by Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognition (ADAS-Cog)

    baseline to 3 months

  • Change in cognitive function as characterized by the Stroop task

    baseline to 3 months

  • Change in cognitive function as characterized by the Trail making task

    baseline to 3 months

  • +8 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Centre-based physical activity

EXPERIMENTAL

People with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and early dementia will receive centre-based physical activity for one hour each week for three months, plus at-home prescribed exercise.

Behavioral: Centre-based exercise

Home-based exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

People with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and early dementia be prescribed at-home prescribed exercise and will received monthly support phone calls.

Behavioral: Home-based exercise

Interventions

Participants will come to a centre (University of Waterloo or Toronto Rehabilitation Institute) for a one-hour, small group exercise class each week. The classes will include progressive aerobic and resistance exercise. They will be prescribed additional exercise to be performed independently (either at home or in the community).

Centre-based physical activity

Participants will be prescribed aerobic and resistance exercise to be performed independently (either at home or in the community). They will receive monthly phone calls to discuss achievements and barriers and to tje adjust exercise prescription.

Home-based exercise

Eligibility Criteria

Age50 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:
