Clinical Trial Summary

The objectives of the present research is to observe the effects of a multimodal program with augmented reality on cognition, functional fitness, quality of life, and physical activity in older people.


Clinical Trial Description

The present investigation lasted 16 weeks. The first two weeks were for familiarization with the tests and initial assessments. This was followed by the 12-week intervention and final assessments (2 weeks). The intervention program ran for 12 weeks with 3 sessions per week of 60 minutes each. There were three different groups: a) a control group; b) a multimodal training group that combined physical training with cognitive training; c) a multimodal training group with augmented reality. The control group continued their daily activities for 12 weeks and did not participate in any new physical activity program during the study. In the multimodal training group, the session consisted of four stations where participants simultaneously trained physical aspects (cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, balance, and flexibility) and cognitive aspects (reaction time, memory, decision making, semantics, and processing speed). In the multimodal training session with augmented reality, the session consisted of 6 stations, 4 stations as in the previous group and 2 stations with augmented reality. These 2 stations used the same components but through the portable exergame platform for the elderly. During the 12 weeks, the intensity and difficulty of each exercise was increased after each session, depending on the evolution of the participants. When forming the training groups, the participants who were not available during the intervention phase were assigned to the control group. ;
