“…Moreover, our findings showed an improvement in dual-task abilities, common tasks required during everyday life. 54,55 Similarly, Hamacher et al 35 showed that dance activity significantly increases multitasking abilities compared with health-related exercise, highlighting the benefit of multi-tasking exercises 16 such as dance activity to improve motor-cognitive dual-task performance. Indeed, dance may be considered a rhythmic activity that requires multiple physical and cognitive elements.…”

“…Previous studies suggested that physical training programmes, 1,[13][14][15][16] including progressive aerobic, resistance, balance or functional training, can improve mobility and general quality of life in older people. Furthermore, physical exercise intervention may be beneficial for psychosocial domains, including social interaction, 17 due to the social engagement of physical training programmes (e.g.…”

“…Therefore, it suggested that when performing a dual-task that required visual attention, the poor postural control observed in older adults was the result of the visual information being assigned to the task and the vestibular information dominating the postural regulation. Dual-tasking has been employed as a balance training program to improve mobility performance in older adults [33], or other neurologically-impaired persons [34]. This redistribution of postural regulations could provide insights for further development of dual-task to train specific postural regulation strategies accordingly.…”

Sound and sound frequency could improve postural sway in the elderly. The power spectrum intervals of the center of pressure (COP) displacement are associated with different postural regulations, which could be revealed by frequency analysis. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of sound on dual-tasking postural control and conduct frequency analysis to distinguish postural regulations in the elderly. Fifteen young and 15 older healthy participants were instructed to stand on a force platform and performed the Purdue Pegboard test while hearing 50 dB sounds with sound frequencies of 250 Hz, 1000 Hz, 4000 Hz, or no sound. The total excursion, velocity, sway area, and power spectrum of low-, medium-, and high-frequency bands of the COP displacement were calculated in the anterior–posterior and medial–lateral directions. The percentages of low-frequency and medium-frequency bands in both directions were significantly different between with and without sound conditions, but not affected by sound frequency. Older adults showed a smaller percentage of low-frequency, larger percentage of medium-frequency, larger total COP excursion, and faster velocity in the medial–lateral direction. The outcome of the study supports the frequency analysis approach in evaluating sound effects on postural strategies in dual-tasking and reveals older adults utilize vestibular regulation as the primary postural strategy when the dual-task required visual attention.

“…Another factor playing role in the sufficiency of mobility is the cognitive functions. The term "mobility", defined as the ability of independently moving in the environment, also requires a complex control mechanism that can adapt to the internal and external changes (Brustio et al, 2018;Azadian et al, 2016;Shumway-Cook and Woollacott, 2012). As can be understood from these definitions, the term "mobility" is one of very important prerequisites of the effective performance of skills.…”

The objective of the study is to assess the effects of Differential Learning (DL) approach on learning the tennis stroke techniques, retention of skills, and improving the mobility time of young tennis player candidates in comparison with the traditional teaching methods and, accordingly, to present the teaching methods that are suitable for a more effective development in tennis education. It is thought to be one of few studies on tennis education and determining the retention, although there are studies on DL. Twenty-four (12 girls-12 boys) volunteers doing high school-level tennis courses in İstanbul province were involved in this study (15.00±0.00 years, 1.65±0.06 m, 63.46±10.64 kg and body mass index 23.26±2.91 kg/m 2). One of the groups was named DL group, whereas the other group was named control group (6 girls and 6 boys in each). In both groups, 90-min trainings (three days/week) were performed for 10 weeks. In the present study, the International Tennis Number (ITN) test was used in determining the ITN scores and mobility times. The mobility test of ITN was modified using the Fitlight TrainerTM device according to the expert opinion. According to the results of the study, it was determined that, while the DL method is more effective than traditional training methods in learning tennis strokes and retention of learning, no statistically significant difference was observed in mobility time for both groups.

Dual-task training in older adults: The effect of additional motor tasks on mobility performance

Abstract: Our results suggested that 16 weeks of motor DT training, using motor additional tasks as manipulation of common objects of everyday life, could improve mobility in older age.
