Factors Influencing Gait Performance: Comfortable Linear Gait and Complex Gait in School-Aged Children in a Dual-Task Model.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of cognitive interference by using the Dual-Task (DT) paradigm on gait parameters according to sex, and age. Additionally, we aim to explore the relationship between Dual-Task-Cost (DTC), physical fitness, cognitive functioning, and weight status in schoolchildren.
