Effects of Physical-Cognitive Dual Task Training on Executive Function and Gait Performance in Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Table 4

Pearson’s correlation between pre-to-post changes (Δ) in cognitive efficiency (inhibition performance: the higher, the better) and gait performance (stride length variability: the lower, the better) under single or dual task conditions with simple or complex gait demands (without or with hurdling). EXP = experimental group with DT focus; CON = control group with ST focus.
