Systematic review and meta-analysis reveals cognitive-motor and exergame training enhance executive functions in older people, suggesting progressive difficulty optimizes cognitive adaptations.
Cognitive-motor and technology-based interventions had a positive impact on some cognitive functions. Dual-task interventions led to improvements of domains related global cognitive functions and inhibitory control. Likewise, technology-based exergame interventions improved functions related to processing speed, attentional and inhibitory control. Training interventions with a certain level of exercise load such as progression in difficulty and task specificity were more effective to gain task-related adaptations on cognitive functions.
