简要总结
The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to investigate the effects of breathing exercises added to balance training on cognitive function in individuals aged 65 years and older.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do breathing exercises affect cognition? Do different breathing exercises affect cognition in different ways?
Researchers will administer two different breathing protocols and evaluate cognition before and after each protocol.
Participants will take part in an 8-week program consisting of sessions that include 30 minutes of balance-based exercises and 15 minutes of breathing exercises. Sessions will be held twice weekly under the supervision of a physical therapist.

结局指标
主要结局
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 8 weeks
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is used to assess global cognitive function. The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive performance.
次要结局
- Spirometry Parameters (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC Ratio)(From enrollment to the end of intervention at 8 weeks)
- Maximal Inspiratory and Expiratory Pressures (MIP/MEP)(From enrollment to the end of intervention at 8 weeks)
