Summary

The MoveMent project applies non-pharmacological strategies - physical exercise and cognitive training - that have been shown to be effective in promoting active and healthy aging. The objective is to study the molecular and neural mechanisms of these strategies to stimulate brain plasticity and improve brain health and cognitive functioning.

Conditions

  • Aging
  • Cognitive Function 1, Social

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Physical exercise

The structured physical activity plan consists of a walking program with an initial progressive phase (first week: 30 minutes/session and second week: 45 minutes/session, with a Borg scale of perceived exertion between 9 and 10) and an improvement and maintenance phase (10 weeks, 45 minutes/session with a Borg scale of perceived exertion between 11 and 14).

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive training

We use a computerized cognitive training tele-medicine tool, designed by the Guttmann Institute: Guttmann Neuro Personal Trainer (PREVIRNET). Sessions will consist in activities of attention, memory and executive functions, also put in place progressively and parallel to the physical activity.

BEHAVIORAL

Combined training

Subjects included in this group receive both types of intervention.
