We are a team conducting research investigating opportunities to preserve brain health in individuals experiencing mild cognitive impairment. Specifically, we are assessing the brain's ability to induce short-term neuroplasticity before and following a four-week exercise intervention. The exercise involves cycling on a stationary bike for approximately 5 - 10 minutes at a self-determined intensity and will be supervised by qualified personnel at McMaster University's Physical Activity Center Exercise. We will measure brain responses using a non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation. The long-term goal of this work is to determine whether exercise can improve memory loss in individuals with mild cognitive impairment.
