Exercise Adherence and Cognitive Decline

Sponsor: University of Colorado, Boulder

Summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct a small-scale test of a goals-based program to help people to exercise more and learn what people like or don't like about the procedures. This program is being designed for individuals aged 45-65 from the Black community. Low levels of physical activity are related to health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. People of color are more negatively impacted by these conditions and have also historically been underrepresented by research seeking to increase physical activity. The investigators have developed this goals-based exercise promotion program with the help of a Black-led community-based organization (The Gyedi Project) and a Community Advisory Board made up of stakeholders in the Black community, and now the investigators are conducting a trial of its feasibility and acceptability.
