Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effects of exergaming and resistance training on reaction time in older adults and to investigate intraindividual variability in reaction time. Thirty-six participants (62.1 ± 7.1 years), randomly assigned to exergaming (n = 17) or resistance training (n = 19) groups, underwent two protocols of physical training carried out three times a week for 13 weeks. The exergaming program was based on games from Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures collections using a console Xbox 360 Kinect. In the resistance-training program, each session consisted of ten full-body exercises using free weights and weight machines. Outcomes were reaction time in simple (finger-press test) and complex (Stroop test) tasks and intraindividual variability. A mixed model analysis of variance was conducted, and effects sizes were calculated. Interactions effects revealed no significant differences between groups before and after 13 weeks of training. Regarding the main effects, only the exergaming group showed a significant (p = 0.041) and relevant decrease in reaction time in a complex task (neutral test) when compared to the pre- (1854 ± 732 ms) and post-tests (1530 ± 521 ms). The resistance-training group showed a trend (relevant effect size) of improvement in intraindividual variability in reaction time. These results suggest that both interventions could benefit the cognitive function of older adults. Exergaming improves the reaction time in a complex task, and resistance training improves the intraindividual variability. However, exergaming was not superior to resistance training in any of the outcomes. Trial Registration: Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (RBR-7fh22d/) on 06/07/2019, retrospectively registered.

运动和阻力训练对老年人反应时间和个体内变异性的影响：一项随机临床试验

本研究旨在分析运动和抗阻训练对老年人反应时间的影响，并探讨反应时间的个体差异。36名参与者(62.1±7.1岁)，随机分为运动组(n = 17)和阻力训练组(n = 19)，接受两种体育训练方案，每周三次，持续13周。游戏程序是基于Kinect Sports和Kinect Adventures系列的游戏，使用的是主机Xbox 360 Kinect。在阻力训练项目中，每节课包括10个全身练习，使用自由举重和举重器械。结果是简单(手指按压测试)和复杂(Stroop测试)任务的反应时间和个体变异。进行混合模型方差分析，并计算效应量。在13周的训练前和训练后，两组之间的互动效应没有显著差异。在主要效应方面，与测试前(1854±732 ms)和测试后(1530±521 ms)相比，只有练习组在复杂任务(中性测试)上的反应时间显著减少(p = 0.041)。阻力训练组在反应时间的个体变异方面有改善的趋势(相关效应量)。这些结果表明，这两种干预措施都有利于老年人的认知功能。运动提高了复杂任务的反应时间，而阻力训练提高了个体的可变性。然而，在任何结果上，运动都不优于阻力训练。试验注册:巴西临床试验注册中心(RBR-7fh22d/)，于2019年6月7日回顾性注册。

期刊介绍： As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
