Official title

Effect of Exergaming Program Versus Neuromuscular Exercise on Locomotor and Cognitive Functions in Elderly People With Motor Cognitive Risk Syndrome

Overview

The primary aim of our study is to compare the effects of neuromuscular exercise training versus structured exergaming program on locomotor and cognitive functions in elderly individuals with Motor Cognitive Risk (MCR), which defines the transition state between typical aging and dementia and mild cognitive impairment. This study aims to present for the first time the effects of neuromuscular exercise training and exergaming program on locomotor and cognitive functions in elderly individuals with MCR with comparative results.

Interventions

  • Other The Neuromuscular Exercise Training program
    The Neuromuscular Exercise Training program will be carried out in groups of 2 people for 45 minutes/2 days/8 weeks. The exercise program will consist of warm-up, loading and cooling phases. The warm-up phase will consist of flexibility exercises, mini squat and roll down etc. exercises to prepare the individual for exercise. The loading phase will consist of a cognitive-based neuromuscular exercise program aiming to provide stabilization, increase in balance, neuroplasticity and motor control a
  • Other Exergaming Exercise Training
    In our study, Xbox One Kinect game console and Kinect sensor will be used within the scope of Exergaming. Exergaming program will be carried out in groups of 2 people for 45 minutes/ 2 days/ 8 weeks. It will consist of warm-up, loading and cooling phases. The games to be used for the Exergaming program were selected from games that include locomotor and cognitive repetitive tasks. The selected exergames involve repetitive locomotor and cognitive tasks. Piano step will be utilized during the warm
