Clinical Trial Summary

Dual tasking (DT), or the act of conducting multiple, simultaneous tasks, is wide spread in daily life .In particular, the vast majority of mobility tasks we complete (e.g., standing, walking, stepping, etc.) occur while distracted by another motor and/or cognitive task. A common feature of DT is that performance on one or both tasks is diminished when completed together .Understanding the relationship between gender and dual task performance is important because this knowledge could help inform us the development of interventions or training programs that target these differences and improve overall performance. Aims: To investigate the gender-related differences in single task performance through motor torque, cognitive tasks and walking speed, and the combined dual-task costs considering both motor and cognitive performance in a sample of young adults


Clinical Trial Description

gender differences on dual task performance in young healthy adults. Dual task performance refers to the ability of an individual to perform two tasks simultaneously, which can be a challenging cognitive task because the human brain has a limited capacity for attention and processing. When an individual attempts to perform two tasks at once, they must divide their attention and resources between the two tasks, which can lead to decreased performance and increased errors. The study will evaluate motor performance, muscle force production, and average speed through a walking test. Sixty non-athlete participants (30 female and 30 male) will be recruited, and ANCOVA will be used for statistical analysis.The participants will perform the following tasks: single mobility tasks (average speed through walking test for 45 seconds), single muscle force production, single cognitive task, dual-task condition: walking test and cognitive task, and dual-task condition: muscle torque test and cognitive task ;
