Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how exergaming and medical yoga affect various health outcomes in heart failure patients, focusing on exercise capacity, fatigue, shortness of breath, quality of life, depression, and anxiety.
- 104 participants were randomized into three groups: exergaming, medical yoga, and a control group, with no significant differences found between groups on most measures; however, exergaming improved physical health metrics while medical yoga enhanced emotional well-being.
- Both exergaming and medical yoga showed positive effects compared to the control group, with the control group's well-being declining over the 3-month intervention period.

Despite this, clinical and community programs that use these interventions are limited in availability. This paper presents the "FitBrain" program, an outpatient clinical model that combines dual-task and exergaming interventions to promote cognitive and physical health.
