Description

The primary aim of our study is to compare the effects of neuromuscular exercise training versus structured exergaming program on locomotor and cognitive functions in elderly individuals with Motor Cognitive Risk (MCR), which defines the transition state between typical aging and dementia and mild cognitive impairment. This study aims to present for the first time the effects of neuromuscular exercise training and exergaming program on locomotor and cognitive functions in elderly individuals with MCR with comparative results.

Interventions

The Neuromuscular Exercise Training program (Other)
The Neuromuscular Exercise Training program will be carried out in groups of 2 people for 60 minutes/2 days/8 weeks. The exercise program will consist of warm-up, loading and cooling phases. The warm-up phase will consist of flexibility exercises, mini squat and roll down etc. exercises to prepare the individual for exercise. The loading phase will consist of a cognitive-based neuromuscular exercise program aiming to provide stabilization, increase in balance, neuroplasticity and motor control and is planned to include strengthening exercises, stabilization exercises, balance-proprioceptive exercises and neuromuscular control exercise training with visual feedback. The exercises will progress gradually from easy to difficult with increasing repetition and set numbers.
Exergaming Exercise Training (Other)
In our study, Xbox One Kinect game console and Kinect sensor will be used within the scope of Exergaming. Exergaming program will be carried out in groups of 2 people for 60 minutes/ 2 days/ 8 weeks. It will consist of warm-up, loading and cooling phases. The games to be used for the Exergaming program were selected from games that include locomotor and cognitive repetitive tasks. The selected exergames involve repetitive locomotor and cognitive tasks. Piano step will be utilized during the warm-up for its rhythm-based movement patterns. For the conditioning phase, lower extremity exercises will include Reflex Ridge, River Rush, and Rallyball (Kinect Adventures), while upper extremity exercises will consist of Bowling, Table Tennis, Swimming (Kinect Sports), and Fruit Ninja. A progressive training approach will be followed, with game difficulty levels increasing incrementally as the sessions advance.
