NCT03123900

Brief Summary

The MoveMent project applies non-pharmacological strategies - physical exercise and cognitive training - that have been shown to be effective in promoting active and healthy aging. The objective is to study the molecular and neural mechanisms of these strategies to stimulate brain plasticity and improve brain health and cognitive functioning.

Study Arms (4)

Physical exercise (n= 40)

EXPERIMENTAL

Walking program up to 45 minutes, 5 times a week for 3 months.

Behavioral: Physical exercise

Cognitive training (n=40)

EXPERIMENTAL

Computerized cognitive training up to 45 minutes, 5 times a week for 3 months.

Behavioral: Cognitive training

Combined training (n=40)

EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise and cognitive training up to 90 minutes, 5 times a week for 3 months.

Behavioral: Combined training

Control group (n=20)

NO INTERVENTION

Waiting list group.They receive no intervention during this waiting period. At the end of this period our training programs are available to them.

Interventions

The structured physical activity plan consists of a walking program with an initial progressive phase (first week: 30 minutes/session and second week: 45 minutes/session, with a Borg scale of perceived exertion between 9 and 10) and an improvement and maintenance phase (10 weeks, 45 minutes/session with a Borg scale of perceived exertion between 11 and 14).

Physical exercise (n= 40)

We use a computerized cognitive training tele-medicine tool, designed by the Guttmann Institute: Guttmann Neuro Personal Trainer (PREVIRNET). Sessions will consist in activities of attention, memory and executive functions, also put in place progressively and parallel to the physical activity.

Cognitive training (n=40)

Subjects included in this group receive both types of intervention.

Combined training (n=40)
