What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effects of two different exercise programs on walking and thinking abilities in elderly people with Motor Cognitive Risk (MCR) syndrome, a condition that represents a transition between normal aging and conditions like dementia and mild cognitive impairment. This study aims to provide the first direct comparison of neuromuscular exercise training and a structured exergaming program in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a Neuromuscular Exercise Training program, an Exergaming Exercise Training program using the Xbox One Kinect console, or a control group with no intervention. Both exercise programs last 8 weeks, with sessions twice a week for 45 minutes each. The neuromuscular training includes warm-up, cognitive-based neuromuscular exercises for balance and motor control, progressing in difficulty. The exergaming program also has warm-up, conditioning using selected Kinect games focused on locomotor and cognitive tasks, and a cool-down phase. During the study, participants will undergo various tests and assessments from enrollment through the 8-week treatment, including Timed Up and Go Test, Stair Climbing Test, and cognitive assessments related to these tasks. Additional measures include physical performance batteries, gait analysis, reaction speed, balance assessments, and exercise enjoyment. Researchers will also monitor adherence and participation rates. The total participation period is 8 weeks, with detailed evaluations of both locomotor and cognitive functions.
