| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the attention, exercise and sports during 6-months have the effects on the attention and cognitive function, the balancing ability and walking performance in the dual task. Participants of the study were 30 (exercise group) and 25 (control group) older men and women. It evaluated the attention and cognitive function. Also, it measured the balancing ability and walking performance in the dual task before and after the exercise intervention. As a result, after intervention, the time of TMT-B and TUG decreased, and the walking speed and step length increased in computation, and the fluctuation of the center of the ankle and knee joints in walking in computation became smaller in exercises group than control group. These results suggested that the intervention of the 6-months exercise and sports might improve the attention, the balancing ability and walking performance of older adults in the dual task. 交付決定額
