Clinical Trial Description

This study evaluates the feasibility of the intervention and the study design. Furthermore, it investigates the effects of an exergame training including strength, balance, cognitive and pelvic floor muscle training. The main risk in this study is related to potential accidents/falls during the training (and not mainly to the data acquisition procedures). But as the difficulty of the training game is adaptive, the participants will always be challenged on an appropriate level for their physical condition. Furthermore, before and after the training period, several low risk measurements are conducted. This study contributes to fundamental research investigating how multicomponent exergame training influence physical and cognitive functions. ;
