Physical Activity Engagement After Tai Ji Quan Intervention Among Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment or Memory Concerns: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The effect of exercise interventions on increasing and sustaining moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), who are at heightened risk of dementia, remains unclear.

Objective

To examine whether participation in a 6-month, supervised, home-based tai ji quan intervention increases MVPA among US community-dwelling older adults at 1 year.

Design, setting, and participants

This study was a secondary analysis of a parallel-group, outcome assessor-blinded, randomized clinical trial conducted virtually at participants' homes.
