Brief Summary

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

The aim of this project will be to compare the acute effects of breaks from sedentary behavior using dual-tasking on cerebral blood flow, vascular function, cognitive functions and blood pressure in elderly people. Participants will perform, in random order, three experimental sessions (control, break with dual-task and standard break (\[walk\]). All sessions will have a period of 4 hours in sedentary behavior. In the standard break session and in the break session with dual-task participants will take walking and dual-task breaks every 30 minutes, and in the control session they will remain seated without breaks. Before and after this period, cerebral blood flow, vascular function, cognitive functions and blood pressure will be assessed.

Break dual task

Subjects will remain seated for three hours; however, every 30 minutes the subjects will be instructed to stand and take short walks with low intensity and perform a cognitive task

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Break of sedentary behavior with dual task

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will interrupt sedentary behavior performing walking and cognitive activities simultaneously

Standard break

Subjects will remain seated for three hours, however, every 30 minutes the subjects will be instructed to stand and take short walks at low intensity for two minutes,
