The effect of simultaneously and sequentially delivered cognitive and aerobic training on mobility among older adults with hearing loss

Author(s): Halina Bruce

BACKGROUND: Older adults exhibit declines in auditory and motor functioning, which are compensated for through the recruitment of cognitive resources. Cognitive or physical training alone has been shown to improve cognitive functioning and transfer to motor...

Description:

BACKGROUND: Older adults exhibit declines in auditory and motor functioning, which are compensated for through the recruitment of cognitive resources. Cognitive or physical training alone has been shown to improve cognitive functioning and transfer to motor tasks, but results are mixed when these are combined in studies of healthy older adults, and few studies have included those with age-related hearing loss (ARHL), who are at a higher risk of falls.
