Conditions
Summary
The Greek Interventional Geriatric Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (GINGER) is a six-month multimodal, multicenter study aimed at people with Subjective Cognitive Impairement (SCI). One of the GINGER's interventional components is the Physcial Activity (PA) component, coordinated by the University of Patras. This PA component's scope is to determine whether an enhanced individualized physical exercise intervention programme can improve cognitive changes, physical function, quality of life and wellbeing in people with subjective cognitive decline.
