Summary

The elderly population worldwide is expected to increase exponentially. There will be a higher percentage of older adults suffering cognitive decline in the coming decades. Cognitive impairment, being the most common health problem associated with ageing, contributes to possible loss of functional independence and disability. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of four mixed modalities of three training programs (combined cognitive and physical training \[CCPT\], cognitive or physical training only) on cognition and fitness of community-dwelling older adults in Hong Kong. The study hypotheses will be set as the integrated format of all three training will have higher cognition and fitness scores than other combinations of two training modes and all these mixed modalities will have greater positive outcomes than the active control subjects.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive training

Involves participants engaging in selected games which require thinking skills to be played in a group of 2-4 people.

BEHAVIORAL

physical training

Involves learning of preselected routines of "line dancing" taught by a line dance instructor.

BEHAVIORAL

Combination of cognitive and physical training (CCPT)-BIGMAP

BIGMAP is a program engaging participants in specially designed cognitive/memory games together with physical training (Fu \& Chow, 2019).
