Article Synopsis
- A pilot study explored the effectiveness of a custom interactive exergame designed for older adults, specifically focusing on enhancing engagement and adherence during physical training as part of active aging efforts.
- The study involved 39 participants aged 65 and older, who engaged in 30-minute group training sessions 2-3 times a week for 12 weeks, incorporating cognitive and motor tasks that increased in difficulty.
- Results showed high adherence (89%) and safety, while the exergame had a significant positive effect on participants' working memory and cognitive performance under dual-task conditions, indicating its potential as a beneficial training intervention.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the exercise intensity of exergaming, cognitive-motor dual-tasking, and single-task training in young adults.
- Sixteen participants completed 30-minute sessions of each training type while their heart rates and perceived exercise intensity were measured.
- Results showed no significant differences in heart rates or perceived intensity across the training types, suggesting that exergaming is as physically challenging as traditional training methods.
