Dual-task Exercise in People With Cognitive Impairment

To assess the dynamic effects of each intervention, only one session (30 mins) will be provided. The chair-based exercise session consists of three parts 5 min of active stretching exercises to warm-up, 20 mins of resistance band exercises in a sitting position (Elliott-King et al., 2019) (please see the link for detailed descriptions for seated resistance band workout) and 5 min of passive stretching exercises to cold down. The motor-cognitive dual-task group will be additionally asked to do horizontal eye movements by watching a TV screen and following a duck moving from side to side (bilateral condition) while performing strengthening exercises. The duck moves successively between left and right banks of a river at a rate of 500 ms (Brunyé et al., 2009) which was previously found to improve cognitive function
