Research Focus
Dr. Eric Dennis Vidoni's lab at the University of Kansas Medical Center focuses on understanding how different types of exercise impact brain health and cognition in older adults. Their research investigates the effects of aerobic and resistance training on cognitive performance, brain structure, and overall physical function. By leveraging community-based exercise programs, they aim to develop strategies that promote successful aging and help prevent diseases like Alzheimer's.
