Brief Summary: The investigators aim to study the effects of a 24-week remote-based resistance exercise training program on cardiovascular disease risk factors, cognitive function, and quality of life in older adults living with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's Disease and/or a related dementia. Data for this study will be collected at the beginning, middle, and end of the resistance training program. Participants of this study will receive a baseline health-fitness assessment at the beginning of the study. Measurements of resting blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and lipids, waist and hip circumferences, height and weight, cognitive function and quality of life will be collected at the health-fitness assessment. Participants will then receive supervised remote-based resistance exercise training with Therabands, 3 days per week for 12 weeks before receiving a second 12-week health-fitness assessment in the middle of the intervention. Participants will then receive 12 additional weeks of supervised remote-based resistance exercise training with Therabands, 3 days per week for 12 weeks before receiving a third 24-week health fitness assessment at the end of the study.
Detailed Description: The investigators aim to study the effects of a 24-week remote-based resistance exercise training program on cardiovascular disease risk factors, cognitive function, and quality of life in older adults living with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's Disease and/or a related dementia. Data for this study will be collected at the beginning, middle, and end of the resistance training program. Measurements of resting blood pressure will be collected with an automated blood pressure monitor. Fasting blood glucose and lipids will be retrieved from the electronic medical record or from a finger stick. Waist and hip circumferences will be collected with a tape measure. Height and weight will be collected with a physician scale. Cognitive function and quality of life will be collected from interviews using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Short-Form (36) Health Survey. All data collected from this study will be de-identified using the "Safe-Harbor" method, which minimizes exposure of personal health information by providing each participant with a unique participant-ID and only providing access to those who are listed and approved for access privileges. Data collected for this study will also be stored on an encrypted and password- protected hard drive, and data analyzed will be performed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences using analyses of covariance.

When participants are enrolled in the study, he/she will be grouped on the basis of their cognitive function status from the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. All participants will then receive supervised remote-based resistance exercise training with Therabands, 3 days per week for 24 weeks. The risks of participating in exercise programs are minimal. Some of the possible risks of participating in resistance exercise include becoming tired and/or experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness, leg cramping, or muscle strain from performing resistance exercise. There are several benefits from engaging in resistance exercise programs. Participants of this study will receive health-fitness assessment at the beginning, middle, and end of the study, and as such, will benefit from being made aware of their cardiovascular disease risk factors, cognitive function, and quality of life. Other possible benefits from participation in the resistance exercise program may include improvements in muscular size and strength and/or activities of daily living.
