Group Recreation to Enhance Function Aging

This study is exploring whether a community-based program of weekly SMARTfit dual-task exergaming (exercise using video games) and group art-making can improve physical and cognitive functioning (how well you think and move) in older adults. Researchers will measure changes in your attention, a part of cognitive function, from when you join until 16 weeks later. The study aims to enroll 80 participants. To join, you must be at least 60 years old, have no more than mild cognitive impairment (a MoCA score of 24 or higher), be fluent in English, and be cleared for exercise. The current recruitment status is unclear.
