Study Summary
eBACH is a randomized intervention to determine the effects of aerobic exercise on brain structure and function, as well as to determine how exercise-induced training effects relate to cardiovascular function via related brain changes.
Primary Outcome
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be used to measure the structure of the brain. Segmentation algorithms applied to structural MRI images will be used to compute the volume of the hippocampus in particular, which will be evaluated for change over the course of the trial.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Aerobic Exercise Group
- BEHAVIORAL Physical Activity & Health Information Group
