About

This study was planned to determine the effects of vestibular-based exercises (VBE) and calisthenic-based exercises (CBE) on the cognitive functions of the older individuals. A total of 30 people (21 male, 9 female; range: 65 - 85) will participate in the study. In this randomized controlled study, 30 participants will be divided into two groups: VBE Group (n: 15) and CBE Group (n: 15). Standardized Mini Mental State Test (SMMT) and 3 dual task (motor + cognitive: Dual Task 1, 2, 3) tests will be used to evaluate the cognitive functions of the participants.

Full description

All the evaluations will be done before and after the 8-week exercise program (three times a week). Each group participants will be divided into 3 groups (each group consists of 5 persons) and involved in an 8-week (3 days a week) exercise program (warm-up, VBE or CBE, cool-down).
