Effects of a Dual Task Protocol on Cognition and Functionality in Non-sedentary Older Adults

September 6, 2014 updated by: Anielle C M Takahashi, Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of a dual task protocol on cognitive domains and functional capacity in non-sedentary older adults.

The hypothesis of the present study is that older people undergoing to a dual task exercise protocol have greater benefits on cognition and functional performance, compared to a standard exercise protocol.
