About this Research Topic
Motor and Cognitive Intervention Effects: Impact on Balance and Cognition in Older Individuals with and without Cognitive Impairment
Motor interventions are broadly defined for this topic and may include exercise interventions, interventions designed to increase physical activity, motor learning interventions and interventions involving brain stimulation over motor areas.
Motor and cognitive training have demonstrated promising outcomes in older individuals. Appropriate training, whether focusing on motor or cognitive skills, has the potential to slow down the decline of motor and cognitive functions.
The aim of this Research Topic is to compile perspectives and findings related to motor and cognitive interventions in older individuals with and without cognitive impairment. Specifically, this Research Topic aims to explore the dynamic relationship between cognition and balance during aging, emphasizing the advantages of exercise.
We invite the submission of original articles and reviews that address the role of exercise in community-dwelling and institutionalized older individuals, considering homeostatic conditions and pathological states. The topics we would like to include, though not limited to, are:
I. Influence of motor and cognitive intervention in older adults with and without cognitive impairment.
II. Investigation of biomarkers indicating exercise effects in older individuals.
III. Novel techniques incorporating dual-task exercises into interventions
IV. Examination of potential therapeutic targets and mechanisms of exercise on balance and cognition.
We welcome all types of accepted articles, including Original Research Articles, Review Articles, Clinical Trials, Case Reports, Mini Review Articles, and General Commentaries.
