Group-Based Exercise Intervention to Prevent Cognitive and Motor Decline

Официальное название

Effects of the Ideomotor Group Program Exercise on Cognitive Functioning, Motor Functioning and Overall Well-being in Community-Dwelling Older Adults

Обзор

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the Ideomotor Program in healthy older adults living in the community. The main research questions are: 1\) Is the Ideomotor Program effective in improving cognitive function? 2) Is the Ideomotor Program effective in improving motor function? 3) Is the Ideomotor Program effective in improving overall well-being? Researchers will compare the Ideomotor Program to a community group cognitive training program to determine whether the effects are superior. Participants will: undergo assessments at baseline, at the mid-intervention point, and upon program completion; participate in a 16-week group exercise program in a community gym two times per week; keep a diary to monitor the number of falls and any adverse events.
