For the first time in history older people outnumber the younger. This has created unique health challenges, the scariest being Dementia, a debilitating disorder that cause severe memory loss with no cure. This is why Dr. Heisz¿s research on interventions to prevent dementia is so vital. She will examine how one session of exercise impacts the brain to improve memory, and then determine how those temporary changes become permanent with regular exercise training and whether they can be enhanced with brain training games that target memory. This research will inform evidence-based guidelines for exercise interventions to keep older Canadians healthier longer.

历史上老年人第一次超过年轻人。这造成了独特的健康挑战，最可怕的是痴呆症，一种使人衰弱的疾病，导致严重的记忆丧失，无法治愈。这就是为什么Heisz博士关于预防痴呆症的干预措施的研究如此重要。她将研究一次锻炼如何影响大脑以改善记忆，然后确定这些暂时的变化如何通过定期锻炼训练变得永久，以及它们是否可以通过针对记忆的大脑训练游戏来增强。这项研究将为运动干预提供循证指南，以使加拿大老年人更健康。
