Study Summary
Aging is associated with a loss of brain function and conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It is likely that decreased brain metabolism is contributing to the progression of age related degenerative diseases. Aerobic exercise training can increase brain volumes and is associated with decreased risk for degenerative brain conditions. However, little is know about the changes that occur to brain metabolism with aerobic training and aging.
Primary Outcome
The investigators will assess brain glucose uptake using positron emission tomography at baseline and following 12-weeks of either aerobic exercise training or sedentary control period.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL High intensity aerobic training
- BEHAVIORAL Sedentary Control
