Specific Aims are to determine (1) whether BMS beneficially influences PA behaviors and psychological responses to PA in older adults for 6 months, and (2) whether exercising with BMS differently influences physical and cognitive functioning as well as quality of life in older adults.To test the effects of BMS on PA, participants will be randomly assigned to an exercise intervention that either includes BMS or does not include BMS. Participants will attend a supervised group strength training (ST) (30 min/day) and aerobic exercise (AE) (30-50 min/day) session for 3 days/week for the first 2 months, 1 day/week for the next 2 months (while encouraging participants to independently perform both AE and ST on other days), and independently for the final 2 months (always with a goal of performing \>150min/week AE and 3 days/week of ST for 30 min/day., conditionsModule conditions: Cognitively Normal Older Adults, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: OTHER, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 50, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Music, interventions name: Exercise, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Physical activity (objective), primaryOutcomes measure: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA): Affective response to PA, primaryOutcomes measure: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA): Perceived autonomy, primaryOutcomes measure: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA): Perceived exertion, primaryOutcomes measure: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA): Behavioral intention, primaryOutcomes measure: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA): Physical Activity setting, primaryOutcomes measure: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA): Anticipated, remembered, and incidental affect, primaryOutcomes measure: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA): Social Support for Exercise, primaryOutcomes measure: Physical activity (self-report), secondaryOutcomes measure: Cognitive performance - General, secondaryOutcomes measure: Cognitive performance - Tower of London, secondaryOutcomes measure: Cognitive performance - NIH Toolbox Oral Reading Recognition Test, secondaryOutcomes measure: Cognitive performance - NIH Toolbox List Sort Working Memory Test, secondaryOutcomes measure: Cognitive performance - NIH Toolbox Picture Sequence Test, secondaryOutcomes measure: Cognitive performance - NIH Toolbox Dimensional Change Card Sort Test, secondaryOutcomes measure: Cognitive performance - NIH Toolbox Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test, secondaryOutcomes measure: Cognitive performance - Mnemonic Similarity Task, secondaryOutcomes measure: Cognitive performance - Perceptual Discrimination Task, secondaryOutcomes measure: Health Related Quality of Life, secondaryOutcomes measure: Physical activity (subjective), secondaryOutcomes measure: Music Reward Experience, secondaryOutcomes measure: Treatment Satisfaction, secondaryOutcomes measure: Body Mass Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: Waist/Hip/Leg Circumference, secondaryOutcomes measure: Sagittal Diameter, secondaryOutcomes measure: Blood Pressure, secondaryOutcomes measure: Handgrip Strength, secondaryOutcomes measure: Timed Up and Go (TUG), secondaryOutcomes measure: 10-Meter Walk, secondaryOutcomes measure: 4-Stage Balance Test, secondaryOutcomes measure: 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), secondaryOutcomes measure: 30-second Chair Stand, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 65 Years, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: University of North Carolina at Greensboro, status: RECRUITING, city: Greensboro, state: North Carolina, zip: 27402-6170, country: United States, contacts name: Project Coordinator, MS, role: CONTACT, phone: 336-334-4765, email: istep@uncg.edu, contacts name: Jennifer L Etnier, PhD, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Shin Park, PhD, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 36.07264, lon: -79.79198, hasResults: False
