Effects of 5-Year Exercise Training on Cognition in Older Adults: 10-Years Follow-Up from the Generation 100 Study
While structured aerobic exercise training over 5 years improved physiological health markers in healthy older adults, its impact on mitigating cognitive decline was limited. Further long-term training studies in different populations are needed to better understand the link between exercise training and cognition in older adults. Trial Registration The Generation 100 Study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT01666340), registered on 21 August 2012: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT01666340.
