abstract = {Cognitively healthy older people can increase their
performance in cognitive tasks through training. However,
training effects are mostly limited to the trained task;
thus, training effects only poorly transfer to untrained
tasks or other contexts, which contributes to reduced
adaptation abilities in aging. Stabilizing transfer
capabilities in aging would increase the chance of
persistent high performance in activities of daily living
including longer independency, and prolonged active
participation in social life. The trial AgeGain aims at
elaborating the physiological brain mechanisms of transfer
in aging and supposed major modulators of transfer
capability, especially physical activity, cerebral vascular
lesions, and amyloid burden.This 4-year interventional,
multicenter, phase 2a cognitive and physical training study
will enroll 237 cognitively healthy older subjects in four
recruiting centers. The primary endpoint of this trial is
the prediction of transfer of cognitive training gains.
Secondary endpoints are the structural connectivity of the
corpus callosum, Default Mode Network activity,
brain-derived neurotrophic factors, motor fitness, and
maximal oxygen uptake.Cognitive transfer allows making use
of cognitive training gains in everyday life. Thus,
maintenance of transfer capability with aging increases the
chance of persistent self-guidance and prolonged active
participation in social life, which may support a good
quality of life. The AgeGain study aims at identifying older
people who will most benefit from cognitive training. It
will increase the understanding of the neurobiological
mechanisms of transfer in aging and will help in determining
the impact of physical activity and sport as well as
pathologic factors (such as cerebrovascular disease and
amyloid load) on transfer capability.German Clinical Trials
