Changes in Neurocognitive Impairment as Measured by the Trails Making Test Secondary · Baseline, 16 weeks

Trail Making Test (TMT). Time to accurately complete Part A and Part B. The TMT measures neurocognitive functioning and consists of two parts; the first part requires participants to connect numbers in ascending order, while the second part requires individuals to connect numbers and letters in sequence. The test is scored by the time it takes to accurately complete each test. Increases in time correlate with greater impairment measured in seconds.

Changes in Neurocognitive Impairment as Measured by the WAIS-IV Digit Span Secondary · Baseline, 16 weeks

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) asks participants to repeat 2-9 numbers forward, backward and in ascending order to assess attention, processing speed, and working memory. Each correct response earns 1 point, and the total raw score is converted to a scaled score ranging from 1 to 19. Higher scores indicate better cognitive performance; lower scores reflect increased neurocognitive impairment.

Changes in Physical Activity as Measured by the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) Secondary · Baseline, 16 weeks

The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) scoring is based on the amount of time a person spends being physically active in a typical week. It looks at three areas: activity at work or during daily tasks (including heavy lifting, digging, carrying loads, or light activities like cleaning); traveling from place to place (like walking or cycling); and recreational activities (such as exercise, sports, or active hobbies). Each activity is converted into a standard unit called MET-minutes (Metabolic Equivalent of Task). This allows different types of activity to be compared on the same sca
