Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Life Kinetic Training Group
Participants in this group engaged in Life Kinetic (LK) exercises twice a week for eight weeks. The training program combined physical and cognitive tasks designed to enhance neuroplasticity, improve balance, agility, jumping performance, proprioception, and cognitive functions. The exercises included activities that stimulated mental and physical coordination, aimed at improving overall athletic and mental performance.
Life Kinetic Training
Combination of cognitive and physical exercises aimed at improving neuroplasticity, agility, balance, and cognitive functions.
Control group
Participants in the control group continued their usual recreational fencing training without additional intervention. To match the exposure of the experimental group, they engaged in structured, low-intensity activities unrelated to the objectives of Life Kinetic Training. These activities included light stretching, basic coordination drills, and non-cognitive motor tasks, conducted at the same frequency and duration as the experimental sessions (twice per week for one hour). These activities were designed to simulate a training environment while lacking the cognitive and motor integration components central to the intervention. At the end of the study, participants were fully debriefed about the nature and purpose of their activities, including the rationale for the placebo-like design, as part of the ethical protocol.
