Brief Summary

Aim: to compare the effects of single-task (ST) and dual-task (DT) training on physical and cognitive function in institutionalized older adults in 1 month. Methods: Participants were assigned randomly into two groups, ST (multicomponent physical exercise) and DT training (multicomponent physical exercise + cognitive tasks). Both groups performed the exercise three times per week for 1 month. Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), handgrip strength, Barthel Index and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were used to assess physical and cognitive performance, respectively. Variables were measured at the beginning (V1),at the end of the exercise (V2), as well as one month later (V3). Paired Student's t-test and lineal logistic regressions models were used to explore the effect of the exercise interventions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)

  The SPPB is a battery of tests that include: the 4-meter walking test (4MWT) performed at usual pace, the 5-times sit-to-stand test (5STS), and Romberg balance test, assessing the ability of standing upright in three progressively standing conditions (feet together, semi-tandem and full-tandem) for a maximum period of ten seconds. SPPB scores range from 0 (inability to complete the test) to 4 (best performance), obtaining a total score ranging from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance)14.

Study Arms (2)

Simple-Task (multicomponent physical exercise)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Single-task (ST) training group developed an exercise program based on Functional Exercise Circuit (FEC) protocol

Other: Single-Task

Interventions

Single-Task OTHER

Single-task (ST) training group developed an exercise program based on Functional Exercise Circuit (FEC) protocol. This exercise program has been published previously12, which considered 15 different exercises in a functional exercise circuit.

Simple-Task (multicomponent physical exercise)

Dual-Task OTHER

DT training (multicomponent physical exercise + cognitive tasks)

Dual-Task training (multicomponent physical exercise + cognitive tasks)
