Xbox-Based exergames versus structured Home-Based cognitive training for attention and executive functions in healthy adults
NCT ID NCT07809412
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026
Summary
Background: Exergames are increasingly used to support cognition in older adults; however, evidence comparing exergames with non-computerized cognitive training in healthy adults remains limited. Objective: This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the effects of Xbox-based exergames and structured home-based cognitive training on attention and executive functions in healthy adults. Methods: Twenty healthy adults aged ≥50 years were randomly allocated to either an Xbox-based exergames group (n=10) or a structured home-based cognitive training group (n=10). Both groups received 12 sessions twice weekly. Before and after the intervention, participants were assessed using the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination, d2 Test of Attention, Stroop Test, WMS-R Digit Span Test, Trail Making Test, and Benton Judgment of Line Orientation Test.
