Exploratory cross-sectional assessment shows adaptability in mobility linked to brain integrity and physical activity in aging adults.

This research aims to assess indicators of motor reserve, focusing on behavioral and neuroimaging correlates among aging individuals.
Cross-sectional assessment of 24 healthy adults aged 21-80 years
Gathered data on physical activity through questionnaires
Evaluated locomotor adaptability using a split-belt treadmill task
Used magnetic resonance imaging to measure grey matter volume and functional connectivity in motor brain networks.
Six-minute walking distance decreased with age, associated with reduced grey matter volume.
Motor adaptation abilities remained stable across the lifespan.
Locomotor adaptation rates correlated positively with the integrity of motor networks and were influenced by long-term physical activity.

Kögler et al. (2025) studied this question.
