Effects of Dual-task Aerobic Exercise

To find answers to the questions of the study, healthy sedentary participants were randomized into two groups by online randomization method. One of the groups was the group that received only double-leg aerobic exercise. The other group was the double-leg aerobic exercise group integrated with dual-task-oriented training. Before and after the interventions, the blood pressure and pulse rate of the participants were measured, their cognitive functions were evaluated with the MOCA Test, their reaction times were evaluated with the Nelson Reaction Test, and the acute effect of the trainings was examined.
