简要总结
The elderly population is increasing in Turkey and in the world. Many health problems, such as a decrease in physical and psychological abilities and an increase in chronic problems, occur with aging. It is important to encourage and support practices for the development of exercises to increase physical and cognitive capacity in order to early recognize and reduce the effects of problems that develop with aging. To the best of our knowledge, there is no exercise training to increase reaction time in the elderly in the literature.
详细描述
The study was planned as a randomized controlled study. Volunteer participants over the age of 65 living in a nursing home in Ankara will be included in the study. The sample of the study will consist of 28 elderly individuals, as determined by power analysis. The participants will be randomly divided into two groups. One group (Group 1) will receive functional balance exercise training, and the other group (Group 2) will receive functional balance-based reaction exercise training. The participants socio-demographic information, cognitive level ( The Montreal Cognitive Assessment), executive function (Stroop Test), reaction time, physical performance (Four Step Square test, Short Physical Performance Battery, Time Up Go Test) and balance confidence (Falls Efficiency Scale) will be evaluated Evaluations will be repeated at baseline and 8 weeks later. The interventions will be carried out two days a week for 40 minutes for eight weeks.

Stroop Test
时间窗: Eight weeks
The test consists of two cards, each containing 60 items, presented in six rows of 10 items. On the first card, there are small rectangles (0.5 x 1 cm) printed in red, green and blue. The second card contains names of the three colours (i.e., red, green and blue) printed in incongruent colours (e.g., the word 'red' is printed in blue ink). The Stroop test Çapa version consists of three parts: Stroop A, Stroop B and Stroop C. Stroop A. The first part of the test requires individuals to name the colours (i.e., red, green and blue) of the small rectangles as quickly as possible, following a sequence from left to right. If any sign of colour blindness or colour naming deficits is present, the test is discontinued. Stroop B. The second part of the test requires individuals to read as fast as possible the colour names (i.e., red, green, and blue) that are printed in incongruent ink colours. The Stroop test Çapa version consists of three parts: Stroop A, Stroop B and Stroop C. Stroop A. The
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
时间窗: Eight weeks
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a brief instrument developed for the screening of milder forms of cognitive impairment. A score is derived by summing the points from each successfully completed task, for a total range from 0 to 30 points; higher scores indicate better cognitive performance. The MoCA was developed to screen milder forms of cognitive impairment through the assessment of a wide range of cognitive functions, such as short-term memory, executive functions, visuospatial abilities, language, attention, concentration, working memory, and temporal and spatial orientation. It comprises a 1-page test, which requires a short administration time (10-15 minutes).
The Simple Reaction Time
时间窗: Eight weeks
The simple reaction time is measured using an electronic timing system (including a digital display, a light, and a button, and the protocol that has been described in the literature was followed . Each older is seated so that the resting arm was on the table in a quiet environment. The testing side's second index is placed 1 cm away from the button of the device. Then, the participants are asked to press the button when the visual or auditory input appeared. A total of 10 repetitions are recorded, and the mean score of the last 5 tests is further analyzed .. The visual and auditory reaction time is randomly assigned. The reaction time is recorded with 1/1,000 seconds of sensitivity.
