Reducing African Americans' Alzheimer's Disease Risk Through Exercise (RAATE)"
This study tests whether a physical activity program designed for older African American adults changes memory and executive function (planning and mental flexibility). It also looks at brain scans and fitness measures. A group exercise program is compared with a Successful Aging program. It is not a drug trial, and the phase is not applicable.

- lacking plans to move during the study period
- free of conditions that would make regular exercise unsafe (e.g. uncontrolled asthma, severe sickle cell disease, etc.)

You're excluded if
- cognitive impairment that would interfere with participating in group interactions
- unwilling to give written informed consent
