简要总结
Older individuals, 60-90, will be provided regular or cognitively based yoga training. They will then be evaluated using standard cognitive testing devices.
详细描述
Reductions in executive function are common with age. Along with these declines come reductions in simple functional patterns of daily living such as crossing a street, walking in a crowded area, or performing any functions that occurs in an open (changing) environment. This study will use a newly developed yoga program incorporating multi-directional movements, cognitive challenges and visuomotor disturbances to improve executive function and associated movements in persons over 60 years of age.

干预措施: Educational Control (Other)
Multi-directional Yoga
The multidirectional yoga training program will use both simple and complex movement sequences (asana or postures) that include a cognitive component. For example, participants will be taught a movement sequence that includes 16-20 yoga postures that increase in difficulty as the training progresses. .

结局指标
主要结局
NIH Toolbox: Picture Sequence Memory Test
时间窗: 5 minutes
Measures episodic memory. Participants are asked to reproduce a sequence of pictures that is shown on the screen.
NIH Toolbox List Sorting test
时间窗: 5 minutes
Measures working memory. Participant recalls and sequences different visually and orally presented stimuli.
Walking Executive Function Tests
时间窗: 10 minutes
Walking and responding to visual cues presented on a 60 inch monitor.
Timed up-and-go
时间窗: 5 minutes
Rising from a chair, circumventing a cone and returning to the chair.
NIH Toolbox Flanker test
时间窗: 5 minutes
Measures attention and inhibitory control. Participant focuses on a given stimulus while inhibiting attention to stimuli flanking it.
NIH Toolbox Pattern Comparison Processing Speed test
时间窗: 5 minutes
Measures speed of processing. Participants discern whether two side-by-side pictures are the same or not, with 85 seconds to respond to as many items as possible. Items are simple so as to purely measure processing speed.
