Design: In this prospective, single-blinded, controlled clinical trial, a total of 40 participants were allocated to either the experimental or the control (no-exercise) group. The intervention program consisted of a combination of motor and cognitive exercises conducted twice a week on nonconsecutive days. The main outcome measures were postural stability, mobility, fear of falling, and cognitive functions. Multiple analyses of variancewere used to assess the impact of the dual-task training. Effect sizes (η²p) were reported. Significance was set at 5%. Results: Compared with the control group, participants who underwent the dual-task training showed positive outcomes in terms of postural stability (η²p = 0.298, P = 0.020), mobility (η²p = 0.285, P = 0.003), and cognitive functions (η²p = 0.536, P = 0.001). No significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of the fear of falling (P = 0.566). Conclusions: Three-month dual-task training was beneficial for postural control, mobility, and cognitive functions in community-dwelling older adults. Based on the present findings, healthcare professionals should consider incorporating dual-task training into clinical practice. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
