Study Overview
Brief Summary
This project is focused on conducting a home-based, thinking while moving exercise intervention for adults 65 years or older, who have mild cognitive impairment, that will integrate several effective training modalities including non-contact cardio-kickboxing, stepping exercise, balance/functional training, and muscle strengthening. Cognitive function, physical function, and dual-task abilities will be assessed over the 12-week intervention and comparisons will be made between participants in the exercise intervention and control participants receiving no intervention.
