Speaker: Teresa Liu-Ambrose, PhD, PT
In this session, we will discuss exercise can protect brain health in older adults with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Drawing from clinical trials, she will share evidence that aerobic and resistance training improve cognitive function, as well as brain health, in this population.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the evidence supporting exercise as a non-pharmacological intervention for cognitive health in older adults with VCI.
Identify the types and intensities of exercise shown to benefit cognitive outcomes in this population.
