Study Summary

Physical activity and Alzheimer's disease (PAAD-2) is a randomized control trial that will assess the effects of exercise on middle-aged (40-65 years) cognitively normal adults who have a heightened risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to family history (FH+). The investigators will also assess the extent to which this effect is moderated by apolipoprotein epsilon-4 (APOE4) carrier status, and will gather critical new experimental evidence on the use of physical activity to improve cognitive performance by persons at the greatest risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Primary Outcome

Change in executive function will be assessed by comparing Pre-Test, Mid-Test (\~6 months), and Post-Test (\~12 months) performance on Stroop Interference. Stroop interference is calculated using reaction time (RT) data from correct trials and the following formula: Stroop Interference RT = Stroop Incongruent RT - (average (Stroop Congruent RT , Stroop Neutral RT)). Stroop Congruent is also known as Stroop Word, and Stroop Neutral is also known as Stroop Color. RT is recorded in msec and a large
