Brief Summary

Aging is defined as a functional change in the organism which is not reversible with time progression. With this change in the organism, physical and cognitive functions are decreasing, and the potential of the individual to establish a balance between the systems decreased. For this reason, the aim of this is to investigate the effects of different home exercise programs on cognitive function, balance and daily living activities in healthy individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)

  Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) was developed by Nasreddine et al. to distinguish healthy individuals from individuals with mild cognitive impairment. MOCA evaluates 8 different functions including attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visual-spatial skills, calculation and orientation and abstract thinking. The highest score is 30. 21 points and above are considered normal.

• Stroop Test

  The Stroop Test measures the speed of information processing, the ability to suppress a customary behavior, focused attention, the ability to perform an unusual behavior, and the ability to change perceptual setup under varying demands and under a disturbing effect. The standardization studies of Stroop Test in our country were performed by Karakaş et al. The Turkish form was named Stroop Test TBAG Form. The Stroop Test TBAG Form consists of four white cards. Each card has 6 rows sorted randomly and 4 items per line. These cards contain the stimulants of the test.

• Benton Face Recognition Test

  The face recognition test was developed by Benton in 1969. It is standardized to determine the capacity to identify and distinguish unrecognized human faces. This test consists of 22 pages of A4 size and there are face pictures on these pages. Only one page of pages is numbered. There is a stimulant picture on pages with no page numbers. Numbered pages have 6 pictures to select from among the responses. The application period of the test is 5-15 minutes and the time factor is not evaluated separately.

Study Arms (2)

Group 1

EXPERIMENTAL

The first group will be prescribed aerobic exercise and balance exercises as home exercise. Participants in this group will perform 30 min moderate walking exercises and balance exercises. Balance exercises shall consist of feet static stops for 30 second , one leg stance for 30 second, standing at tandem position for 30 second and uplift exercises at the fingertips for 30 second. Exercises will be held once a day for 3 days per week over 6 weeks.

Other: aerobic exercise and balance exercises

Group 2

EXPERIMENTAL

The second group will be prescribed cognitive tasks combined with aerobic exercise and balance exercises as home exercises. Participants in this group will have 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise and cognitive tasks combined with balance exercises. Participants will be asked to count backwards from 20 during the walk and then count back the days of the week back and repeat it for 30 minutes. Balance exercises shall consist of feet static stops for 30 second , one leg stance for 30 second, standing at tandem position for 30 second and uplift exercises at the fingertips for 30 second. Patients will be asked to count backwards from 20 to count the days of the week backwards during balance exercises. Exercises will be held once a day for 3 days per week over six weeks. Participants will be called by the researcher on the days of the exercise and the participant's compliance with the exercise program will be checked.

Other: aerobic exercise and balance exercises; Other: aerobic exercise and balance exercises with cognitive exercises
