Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to utilize an interactive exergame mat system to develop a novel cognitive-physical training program and explore the training effects on physical performance, cognitive function, dual-task walking (DTW), and fall risk compared to the control condition.

Description:

The exercise group performed exergames with simultaneous cognitive-physical training, while the control group underwent a multicomponent exercise intervention focused on physical and cognitive training. A 2-hour training session was completed weekly for 3 months.
