"With one in six people in the world expected to be 60 years or older by 2030, we need to make sure we are supporting and empowering people to age well. We found that the need to prioritize physical activity, especially physical activity that gets our heart rates up, is key.” – Dr. Audrey Collins, Postdoctoral Researcher, AdventHealth Research Institute

In a new article published in the medical journal Age and Ageing, Dr. Collins shares the results of a recent study evaluating the impact of exercise on neurocognition in older adults. Researchers found that staying active through moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with significantly better processing speed, working memory, and executive function.

The AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute is now conducting a follow-up study to test the five-year impact of these exercise interventions on cognitive performance changes and risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
