Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - postural control is measured by a force platform (Fa. NeuroCom) - two measurements are carried out per appointment. Depending on the randomisation, the test of postural control was carried out first under dual-task or single-task condition - postural sway (1: anterior-posterior sway, 2: medio-lateral sway, 3: total swa area) - postural sway velocity | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - cognitive performance (via Stroop-Test) - Heart rate and heart rate variability (via heart rate monitor) - Oxygen Sataration (SpO2 via pulsoxymetry) - Status of motivation, concentration and mental fatique (via visual analog scale) - acute mountain sickness ( via Lake Loise Acute Mountain Sickness Score) | — |
