Effects of cognitive workload during motor-cognitive training on executive function, dual-task performance, and posture control: a RCT among middle-aged and older adults
Background Falls are a major concern in geriatric health, and impairments in executive function (EF), gait, and postural control are important fall-related risk factors. Interactive motor-cognitive training (IMCT) has shown promise as an intervention to mitigate these risks. This study aims to assess the acute effects of IMCT programs with three levels of cognitive load (high, medium, and low) on EF, spatio-temporal gait parameters, and postural control in middle-aged and older adults. Methods In this single-blind, …
