Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study tries to analyze the effectiveness of the application of the new technology in the maintenance of an active time. To do this, the investigators performed a laboratory test where they evaluated the physical and cognitive variables before and after the intervention and analyzed the improvement in the psychocognitive abilities in the experimental group and the use of physical and cognitive functions in the control group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main objective of this study is the demonstration of the effectiveness of a motor task, making use of the Nintendo Wii video game console, in healthy elderly people, as well as demonstrating the interaction between the physical and cognitive aspects and the decline that in these functions causes the aging process. Methodology: A double blind, controlled and randomized clinical trial was developed on a total sample of 46 subjects, with a mean age of 72.59 years. For the collection of data, the following evaluation scales and computerized tests were passed (Cognitive Miniexamen, Depression Scale, Berg Scale, Tinetti Scale, Timed Up and Go test, Oddball Test and the Attention Network Test).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental aging

The subjects received 16 sessions (Two per week) of exercise with new tecnology between two measurements of the variable.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

new tecnology intervention

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The intervention consists of 16 sessions, performed with a frequency of twice a week, the final evaluation was made within three days after the end of the last treatment session. It is used for the motor task, the "Fishing Under Zero" exercise, included within the "balance" modality and the so-called "Step Plus" located in the aerobic exercise folder. Each subject carried out the training taking into account the following methodology: 3 cycles of the "Fishing under zero" exercise, one cycle of the "Step Plus" exercise and 3 cycles of the "Fishing under zero" exercise, the approximate duration of the task being about 30 minutes.

Control Aging

The subjects doesn´t received 16 sessions (Two per week) of exercise with new tecnology between two measurements of the variable.
