All experimental conditions improved inhibition and flexibility scores (p < 0.05) and decreased cerebral oxygenation (Δ[HbO2]) in both hemispheres (p < 0.05), with simultaneous exercise being as effective as either alone.

Why the study?

Simultaneous physical and cognitive training appears efficient compared to physical training alone, but very few studies have assessed its acute effect on executive function in healthy older adults.

Does simultaneous physical and cognitive exercise improve executive functions and prefrontal cortex oxygenation in healthy older adults compared to either training alone?

Comparison

Simultaneous physical and cognitive exercise vs physical exercise alone vs cognitive exercise alone

Design

Randomized crossover study

Discussion

Overview

Acute combined training matches single modalities for acute executive gains in older adults; leaves open whether chronic protocols confer additive benefits.

Structured PICO

Does simultaneous physical and cognitive exercise improve executive functions and prefrontal cortex oxygenation in healthy older adults compared to either training alone?

Population

17 healthy older adults

Intervention

Simultaneous physical and cognitive exercise (30 min exercise at 60% of theoretical maximal heart rate and 30 min of cognitive exercise)

Comparator

Physical exercise alone (30 min at 60% of theoretical maximal heart rate) or cognitive exercise alone (30 min)

Outcome

Executive functions measured by the Stroop task and pre-frontal cortex oxygenation assessed before and after the interventionsurrogate

Simultaneous physical and cognitive exercise is a time-efficient strategy that is as effective as either physical or cognitive exercise alone for acutely improving executive function in healthy older adults.
