Description

Age related declines in cognitive function and mobility are problematic for an aging populace but physical activity has been shown to help ofset these age-related declines. The purpose of this study was to examine the efect of a four-week intervention on cognitive function and mobility after Treadmill and NuStep Cross Trainer interventions (n=2). Mobility, gait, and cognitive function were assessed pre-intervention and post intervention.
