About this study

Hypothesis - In sedentary clerical workers the introduction of even 1 session / week exercise can cause lasting and correlated improvements in work, motor, and cognitive function, and effect which plateaus at 2 compared with 3 sessions / week. However, 6 months follow up would show residual effects only at the 3/week frequency in those who had become sedentary again.

virtual training 2 times a week(8 week-long)

Exergaming 3/week

Primary outcomes

  1. Motor function

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Step test (as described by Prieske et al, motion and endurance test)

  2. Motor Function

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Grip strength - Chair rise (as part of SPPB) the higher score better performance

  3. MOBILITY

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    -SPPB - the higher score better performance

  4. BALANCE Functional reach

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Beam walking (4, 8, 12 cm 3 trials each, summed distance score) The longer the journey is, the better the performance

  5. Cognitive function

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    • MMSE (questionnaire…) the higher score better performance

  6. Cognitive function

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    • Processing speed: The Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST)

  7. Mobility

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    6MWT - The longer the journey is, the better the performance

  8. Mobility

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Fast gait speed over 10 m - speed, the faster the better

  9. Cognitive function

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Verbal and visual memory span and working memory (0-100 visual analog sclae-the higher score better performance)
