Title: Effects of Cognitive and/or Physical Exercises Blended by Computer Games in Elderly: The LLM Project Neuroscientific Investigations in Thessaloniki, Greece by the LLM Team at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
Brief Summary: The study involved Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and more specifically computer exercises blended with game activities. It was hypothesized that ICT facilitated, game blended cognitive and/or physical exercise improves global cognition when compared to control groups; moreover, these improvements may be manifested by brain activity changes; we explored the impact of potential moderators on combined exercise-induced cognitive benefits, as well as, individual/separate training schemes.


Options:
A: Inclusion criteria for patients with MCI

1. Patients fulfilling criteria for AMCI \[Petersen et al. 2001b\]:

   i. Memory impairment for age and education ii. No impairment in other cognitive domains iii. Normal social activities iv. Patient is not demented
2. For the other subtypes of MCI, cognitive impairment in one or more nonmemory domain
3. Sedentary lifestyle with no regular participation in physical exercise defined as two or three times a week for at least 20 minutes duration, or participation in active sport more than once a week, in the previous six months.
4. Willing and able to give informed consent.
5. Availability and access to safe exercise environments, such as paths or roads with sidewalks for walking or cycling.
6. At low risk from serious adverse effects from increased physical activity as indicated by performance on the revised Physical activity readiness questionnaire (PARQ).

Exclusion Criteria:

Exclusion criteria for patients with MCI

1. Type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus.
2. Blood pressure of 160/100 mmHg or more.
3. Body weight more than 140% of ideal body weight.
4. Musculoskeletal or other medical problems preventing safe participation in regular moderate intensity exercise (65-77% of predicted maximum heart rate). This will include a resting tachycardia (heart rate above 100 bpm) and history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within the last month.

Participants with modifiable exclusion criteria will be reconsidered after successful management. Patients will be referred for medical treatment prior to commencing exercise if indicated by the PARQ and the intervention will be guided by the PARmedX.

Participants taking medications affecting heart rate will need to be on a stable dosing regime for 3 months prior to commencing in order to control for potential spurious results on fitness measures caused by these treatments.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* no severe cognitive impairment \[MMSE ≥ 18\]
* fluent language skills
* agreement of a medical doctor
* time commitment to the test and exercise protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

* concurrent participation in another study
* severe physical or psychological disorders which precluded participation in the intervention (i.e., inability to follow instructions)
* unrecovered neurological disorders such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, unstable medication within the past three months
* severe and uncorrectable vision problems, or hearing aid for less than three months.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* 50 years of age or older
* Patient of the FCC in Family Medicine or General Internal Medicine Clinic at UIHC
* No known memory problems

Exclusion Criteria:

* Significant vision impairments
* Lack of access to a computer or owns a MAC
* Lives more than 37 miles from the lab
* Traumatic Brain Injury or severe stroke
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score 26 or greater
* Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) score less than 5
* Independent living
* Normal or correct to normal vision and hearing

Exclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of dementia
* Planned move from study area
* Inability to complete study activities
* Scores lower than inclusion criteria requirements
* Communication problems.
