High-Amplitude Functional Exercises in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
Sponsor: Istinye University
Summary
This study will investigate the effects of dual-task-based high-amplitude functional exercises on balance and functional mobility in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. A total of 36 participants aged 65 years and older will be randomly assigned to either a high-amplitude functional exercise group or a traditional balance and mobility exercise group. Both groups will participate in exercise sessions four times per week for four weeks, with each session lasting 60 minutes. The effects of the exercise programs will be evaluated by assessing balance, functional mobility, dual-task performance, walking performance, fear of falling, and independence in daily activities before and after the intervention.

Dual-Task-Based High-Amplitude Functional Exercise Program
Participants will receive a dual-task-based high-amplitude functional exercise program consisting of high-amplitude functional movements combined with progressively challenging cognitive tasks. The program will be administered 4 times per week for 4 weeks, for a total of 16 sessions, with each session lasting 60 minutes. Exercise intensity will be prescribed as maximal effort, corresponding to 7-8/10 on the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale. The program will include seated and standing functional exercises, large-amplitude stepping movements, dynamic movements, large-amplitude walking, functional task activities, and complex functional tasks.
Traditional Balance and Mobility Exercise Group
Participants will receive a traditional balance and mobility exercise program administered 4 times per week for 4 weeks, for a total of 16 sessions, with each session lasting 60 minutes. Exercise intensity will be moderate, corresponding to 4-5/10 on the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale. The program will consist of motor tasks without cognitive dual-task components.
