Promoting safe walking among older people: Physical and cognitive training intervention among older community-dwelling sedentary or moderate physically active men and women (PASSWORD)<\/h1><\/div> Promoting safe walking among older people: Physical and cognitive training intervention among older community-dwelling sedentary or moderate physically active men and women (PASSWORD) \/ Sarianna Sipil\u00e4

Physical and cognitive functions deteriorate with ageing. Therefore, activities requiring simultaneous physical and cognitive function are especially challenging for older people, like walking on a busy street.\u00a0 The overall objective of this study is to investigate, in 70-85-year-old community-dwelling sedentary men and women, whether the combination of physical and cognitive training has greater effects on walking speed than physical training only. The effects of the interventions on falls will also be investigated. The physical training intervention, comprising individually targeted progressive supervised training sessions and home exercises, will last for 12 months. Half of the participants takes also part in the cognitive computer-based training (CT) targeting working memory and different components of executive functions.<\/p>

The study will be conducted in 2016\u20132020.<\/p>
