Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of exercise rehabilitation on cognition and to evaluate slow wave sleep (SWS) as a biomarker and mediator of response to rehabilitation-induced ...

Detailed Description

Sleep impairment adversely affects cognitive function and increases risk for dementia. Slow wave sleep (SWS) or delta sleep (non-rapid eye movement (REM) stage 3; N3) is especially important for cogni...
