Dual-Task Exercise Effects on Balance and Cognition by Physical Performance Level
Sponsor: Bahçeşehir University
Summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of dual-task exercises on balance and cognitive function in individuals with varying levels of physical performance. Dual-task training, which involves performing cognitive and motor activities simultaneously, has been shown to improve functional mobility, especially in older adults and patients with neurological conditions. However, limited data exist on how these effects differ among individuals with different physical capacities. The findings of this study will contribute to understanding the therapeutic value of dual-task exercises in promoting both physical and cognitive health.

Exercise
A low-activity exercise group, and highly active dual-task exercise group determined based on physical performance level, was subjected to 6 weeks of dual-task exercises aimed at improving balance and cognitive function. Dual-task refers to performing two different tasks simultaneously. In the first week, tasks included generating 3- and 4-letter words while standing in a tandem position, reciting the months and seasons in order while shifting weight forward and backward on a balance board, and performing addition and subtraction tasks while walking. The difficulty level of the tasks was increased each week.
