Study Summary
Brain health and cognitive functioning can be affected by aging. Exercise is a potentially effective method for promoting "successful brain aging" by improving cardiovascular fitness, brain function and possibly sleep quality. This project will measure the effects of exercise on brain health and attempt to develop a better way to track brain health, by measuring brain activity during sleep.
Primary Outcome
The Brain Age Index (BAI) algorithm reports how old an individual's sleeping brain activity "looks", called the "brain age" (BA), and compares this with the chronological age (CA). The difference is the Brain Age Index (BAI), which is calculated by subtracting the Chronological Age (CA) from the calculated Brain Age (BA): BAI = BA-CA. A higher BAI can reflect worse clinical outcomes (e.g. increase mortality risk) while a lower BAI can reflect better clinical outcomes.
