Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance effects of manipulating the properties of a cognitively engaging aerobic task. The overall goal of this proposal is to determine how changes in aspects of the task (selection time, number of sorting options) and inclusion of different dual task walking interferences can be used to challenge the cognitive domain of executive function in a range of healthy adults. The investigators hope to learn how to challenge people cognitively during exercise to promote mental benefits. Participants are invited as a possible participant because are a healthy adult. 40 participants will take part in the study. This research is being funded by the Clinical Exercise Research Center (CERC) in the Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy on the University of Southern California Health Sciences Campus.

Phyical/Cognitve Exercise

Participants will report to the CERC and review informed consent with a study investigator. Eligibility assessments (PAR-Q, WCST64, Medical History) will be done post-consent. Data collected will include age, body composition, gender, aerobic capacity, chronic medication use, and treated pathologies. All measurements will occur during one visit. Participants will lay supine for 5 minutes to measure resting heart rate (HR) using an HR monitor. This resting HR, with age-predicted HR max, will determine HR reserve (HRR). Participants will master the WCST64 and identify walking pace on the Blue Goji treadmill. They will complete a baseline 10 Meter Walk Test, followed by the digital WCST64 under 7 conditions, ending with a post-intervention 10 Meter Walk Test.
