ICAROS Guardian Study with Older Adults
New findings by German Sports University Cologne
In a recent study conducted by the German Sports University of Cologne, using the ICAROS Guardian Exercise device, researchers explored the "Effects of an Exergame-based Balance Training on Mobility, Balance, Cognition, and Gait Speed in Older Adults." The key findings were impressive:
- Improved Leg Strength: Significant gains in leg strength.
- Enhanced Mobility: Increased mobility following the training program.
- Faster Walking Speed: Notable improvements in walking speed for older, healthy participants.
- Boosted Cognitive Function: Clear enhancement in global cognitive abilities.
- Better Dual-Task Walking Performance: Improved capacity to walk while performing cognitive tasks.
These results highlight the potential of exergame-based training to promote better physical and cognitive health in older adults.
