Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a psychomotor processing speed program on the physical and cognitive functioning of community-dwelling older adults. Twenty-two participants (80.6 ± 1.9 years) were allocated to the exercise group (EG) while twenty-one (mean age: 79.2 ± 1.2 years) were designated to the control group (CG). Participants in the exercise program underwent a psychomotor processing speed intervention twice a week for a duration of 8 weeks. Evaluations were conducted at baseline and post-intervention. Following the 8-week program, statistically significant enhancements (p < .05) were observed in all physical fitness parameters (strength, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, and balance), as well as in most cognitive parameters (reaction time, visual attention, executive functioning, and processing speed). Small to large effect sizes were established. The findings suggest that a psychomotor processing speed program can have a comprehensive impact on an individual's functional abilities and should be promoted for implementation in community-dwelling older adults.

八周精神运动处理速度计划对社区居住老年人身体和认知能力的影响。

本研究的目的是检查精神运动处理速度程序对社区居住的老年人身体和认知功能的影响。22名参与者（80.6±1.9岁）被分为运动组（EG）， 21名参与者（平均年龄：79.2±1.2岁）被分为对照组（CG）。运动项目的参与者每周进行两次精神运动处理速度干预，持续8周。在基线和干预后进行评估。经过8周的计划，在所有体能参数（力量、心肺耐力、柔韧性和平衡）以及大多数认知参数（反应时间、视觉注意力、执行功能和处理速度）上观察到统计学上显著的增强（p < 0.05）。建立了小到大的效应量。研究结果表明，精神运动处理速度计划可以对个人的功能能力产生全面的影响，应该在社区居住的老年人中推广实施。
