Minnesota Rehabilitation Intervention for Dementia Prevention and Exercise (MN RIDE)

Lead: Dr. Dereck Salisbury

Aim/Goal: The goal of this pilot project was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a virtually delivered, aerobic exercise training program for midlife and older rural-dwelling Minnesotans on the management of shared cardiovascular disease and dementia risk factors and concurrent effects on cognition. The program was conducted over 12 weeks. Participants were encouraged to schedule exercise sessions 3 times per week; additional sessions with other participants promoted social engagement, support, and camaraderie.
