Summary

This study looked at whether training older adults to focus their attention internally (on their body) or externally (on the environment) can improve physical performance and cognitive function. Fifty participants aged 65 and older were assigned to different focus training groups or a control group. The goal is to find simple ways to help seniors stay steady and sharp.
