Conditions
Interventions
Subjects (n = 27) were randomized into 2 groups of intervention: exergames and aerobic exercise. In the exergames training 13 healthy subjects (aged 55 and+), both sexes, will participate in an exerc

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: Improvement in executive function, verified by test computer, after verification of change of at least 5% in the number of errors and execution speed (milliseconds), in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in psychomotor processing speed, verified by test computer, after verification of change of at least 5% in the number of errors and execution speed (milliseconds), in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in attention, verified by test computer, after verification of change of at least 5% in the number of hits (accuracy) and reaction time for correct answers (milliseconds), in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in short-term memory and visual learning, verified by test computer, after verification of change of at least 5% in the number of hits (accuracy) and reaction time for correct answers (milliseconds), in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in working memory, verified by test computer, after verification of change of at least 5% in the number of hits (accuracy) and execution speed (milliseconds,) in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in delayed recall assessment, verified by test computer, after verification of change of at least 5% in the number of hits (accuracy) and execution speed (milliseconds) in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: The improvement in global cognitive function, verified by the Mini-Mental State Examination test, after verification of change of at least 5% in the number of correct answers in the pre and post intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in functional mobility, verified by “timed up and go” test, after verification of change of at least 5% in the execution time (seconds), in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in lower-extremity muscle strength, | — |
