Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of a dual task protocol on cognitive domains and functional capacity in non-sedentary older adults. The hypothesis of the present study is that older people undergoing to a dual task exercise protocol have greater benefits on cognition and functional performance, compared to a standard exercise protocol.
