| It is expected to find improvement on stability in quiet posture, stability in voluntary dynamic balance and recovery of body balance after unpredictable postural disturbance. For this we will evaluate the dynamic and reactive balance through an unstable platform. We expect to find an increase in balance in groups with greater cognitive demands and increased oxygen demand compared to control groups. For this, we will use the pre-intervention, post-intervention and retention assessments on the variables provided by the pressure platform in anal balance conditions.;It is expected to find the influence of increased oxygen consumption and concomitant cognitive tasks on executive function variables. It is expected to find improvement on the variables of executive cognitive functions in relation to the differences between the groups. For this, we will evaluate cognitive tests before and after the intervention, through measures of score and time in memory test, inhibitory control control (trail making and stroop test). We expect memory improvement (higher scores), inhibitory control (lower cost of time in trail making and shorter reaction time in the stroop test) in the groups with hospitalizations with increased oxygen consumption and in the group with concomitant cognitive tasks.;Our aim is to verify the influence of concurrent cognitive tasks on executive function variables. It is expected to find improvement on the variables of executive cognitive functions in relation to the differences between the groups. For this, we will evaluate cognitive tests before and after the intervention, through measures of score and time in memory test, inhibitory control control (trail making and stroop test). We expect memory improvement (higher scores), inhibitory control (lower time cost in trail making and lower reaction time in the stroop test) in the group as concomitant cognitive tasks. | — |
