Cognitive and physical training can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) maintain or improve their ability to move and think simultaneously, but hearing ability and sex influence outcomes, according to a new Concordia-led study published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. The researchers used data from the SYNERGIC clinical trial, a multi-institutional study of how exercise and brain training can improve cognition, mobility and falls in older adults. Their study followed 75 adults between the ages of 60 and 85 with mild cognitive impairment before and after a 20-week intervention involving physical training and cognitive exercises.
