Read our Alzheimer Disease research guide →Researchers want to understand whether staying physically active throughout your life keeps your brain healthier as you age. This study will compare brain structure and function in two groups: former athletes who still exercise regularly, and people who are mostly sedentary. The research team will use brain scans, memory tests, and blood work to look for differences in how their brains are aging.
We know exercise is good for overall health, but scientists want clearer evidence about whether regular physical activity actually protects your brain from aging and memory problems like Alzheimer's disease. Understanding this connection could help doctors recommend exercise as a way to keep brains healthy throughout life.

If you join this study, you will visit the research center for testing sessions where researchers will perform brain imaging (MRI scans), give you memory and thinking tests, take blood samples to measure brain health markers, and ask detailed questions about your exercise habits and medical history. The visits will be organized to fit the study's needs, and the whole process will help scientists understand whether staying active really does protect your brain.
