Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome consisted on the evaluation of the physical and the cognitive performance. According to the physical performance evaluation - The static postural balance was evaluated using the stabilometric platform (postureWin©, Techno Concept ®,Cereste, France; 40 Hz frequency,12-bits A/D conversion) and the single leg stance clinical test and the dynamic postural balance using the Timed Up and Go Test TUGT. - The lower limb muscle strength was evaluated using a connected electronic traction dynamometer (K-Force® Link, KINVENT, Montpellier, France) and the Sit to Stand clinical test. -The lower limb muscle power was evaluated by the squat jump and countermovement jump tests using the infrared timing system (Optojump Next, Microgate, Bolzano, Italy). Indeed, we evaluated the lower limb endurance by the killy test and the risk of falls by the functional reach test. The cognitive performance was evaluated by the auditory reaction time using the Inquisit 6 Millisecond Software (version 6.6.1) and by the letter fluency test and the Serial subtraction test. | — |
