研究概览

简要总结

Physical activity exerts a variety of long-term health benefits in older adults.This randomised controlled trial investigates the effect of a 12-week physical exercise program on the change in cerebral metabolism as assessed with Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging. Follow-up lasts for 6 months.

结局指标

主要结局

Change in cerebral metabolism (assessed by MRSI)

时间窗: 6 month

assessed by MRSI, Primary hypothesis is that aerobic exercise leads to an increase of cerebral N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA; mediated by plasma neurotrophins). Secondary hypothesis stipulates an increase of markers of neuronal energy reserve: i.e. the ratio of phosphocreatinin to creatinine and of adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP) to \~di-phosphate (ADP). Third hypothesis is an increase in the volume of cortical grey matter

次要结局

  • Cardiopulmonary exercise test (Aerobic exercise capacity is determined by a physician-supervised CPET)(0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Psychometric testing 5 (speed of cognitive processing is assessed by means of the Trail-Making-Test Part A)(0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Psychometric testing 1 (verbal declarative memory [Verbal Learning and Memory test; adapted German version of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning test](0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Psychometric testing 2 (frontal executive control [Colour-Word-Interference test; adapted German version of the Stroop test; Trail-Making-Test Part B](0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Psychometric testing 8 (cristalline intelligence is assessed by means of a verbal intelligence test [Multiple-Choice Word Test: MWT-B](0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Psychometric testing 3 (working memory [Digit Span Test forward and backward](0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Balance and strength (postural sway (balance) and gait data acquisition via the capacitive force-measuring platform (30 Hz) WinFDM v0.0.41® (Zebris© GmbH, Isny, Germany)(0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Pain Assessment (German Pain Questionnaire)(0, 3 and 6 month)
  • History of diet (Food frequency questionnaire DEGS1)(0, 3 and 6 month)
  • History and fear of falling (German version of the Falls-Efficacy-Scale International Version)(0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Psychometric testing 4 9semantic and phonematic fluency, nonverbal declarative memory and visual-constructive abilities by means of the CERAD-Plus (Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease) Neuropsychological Battery)(0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Psychometric testing 6 (depressive disorders: Geriatric Depression Scale)(0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Psychometric testing 7 (Age-associated subjective memory impairment is assessed using a memory complaint questionnaire [MAC-Q](0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Psychometric testing 9 (dementia and mild cognitive impairment using the Mini Mental State Examination and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire)(0, 3 and 6 month)
  • Physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Lifetime Total Physical Activity Questionnaire and Accelerometry)(0, 3 and 6 month)
