Feasibility of a Memory Clinic-Based Physical Activity Prescription Program.

Background: Effective programs for promoting physical activity are needed for those with cognitive impairment.

Objective: To test the feasibility of mobile Health (mHealth) technology-supported physical activity prescription from a tertiary care memory clinic.

Methods: This feasibility study was designed as a 16-week randomized, crossover trial of a physical activity prescription: 8 weeks of intervention, 8 weeks of baseline or maintenance phase data collection.

Dose-Response of Aerobic Exercise on Cognition: A Community-Based, Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Unlabelled: Epidemiological studies suggest a dose-response relationship exists between physical activity and cognitive outcomes. However, no direct data from randomized trials exists to support these indirect observations. The purpose of this study was to explore the possible relationship of aerobic exercise dose on cognition.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is well tolerated in people with Alzheimer-related cognitive impairment.

Objective: To retrospectively assess whether cardiopulmonary exercise testing would be well tolerated in individuals with Alzheimer disease (AD) compared with a nondemented peer group.

Design: We retrospectively reviewed 575 cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPETs) in individuals with and without cognitive impairment caused by AD.

Setting: University medical center.
