Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
= 0.279). No adverse events were reported. Live online exercise sessions were safe, feasible, and demonstrated adherence and intensity comparable to onsite sessions. Trial registration: The trial was registered at the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) on November 24, 2019 (UMIN000038671) (https://center6.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr_e/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000044075).
Key findings
- Live online exercise sessions were safe, feasible, and demonstrated adherence and intensity comparable to onsite sessions.
- Trial registration: The trial was registered at the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) on November 24, 2019 (UMIN000038671) (https://center6.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr_e/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000044075).
Why it matters
This study found that live online exercise sessions for older adults with mild cognitive impairment were safe and feasible, with adherence and intensity comparable to onsite sessions. It addresses how to deliver exercise, not whether exercise treats, cures or prevents Alzheimer's disease.
