What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying a community-based recreation program aimed at improving cognitive and physical function in older adults aged 60 and above. This trial evaluates the effects of weekly group artmaking combined with SMARTfit dual-task exergaming, delivered through the Buffalo-Niagara YMCA. The study focuses on changes in cognitive function and physical abilities over a 24-week period. Participants are randomly assigned to either receive the recreation-based program, which includes weekly exercise and art sessions, or to a control group that does not receive the program. The intervention involves a combination of group art activities and SMARTfit exergaming designed to engage both mind and body. During the study, participants undergo assessments of attention, balance, dual-task performance, and interference inhibition at enrollment, week 8, and week 16. The researchers monitor cognitive and physical outcomes to understand the programs impact. The total participation time spans 24 weeks with ongoing evaluations throughout the trial.
