Arms

  • Experimental: Multimodal Exercise Program with Gamification
    The exercise program will be for 6 weeks, 3 days per week for 60 minutes per session and will consist of strengthening, balance, aerobic, flexibility, and use a computerized game to challenge thinking and reactions skills. The exercise program will also consist of non-contact boxing to improve strength, balance, and aerobic endurance. Each exercise session will be conducted by a licensed physical therapist. The format will consist of a 10-15-minute warm-up followed by 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous circuit training using boxing drills and a computerized game called SMARTfit. SMARTfit consists of a standing computer board that allows participants to touch, punch or kick it while playing a game. At the end of the 30 minutes, participants will complete a 10-15-minute cool-down consisting of core strengthening, posture training, and hip strengthening and stretching exercises. Participants will also be instructed to maintain their normal activities outside of the study intervention.
  • No Intervention: Wait List Control
    Participants randomly assigned to the wait list control group, will perform baseline testing and be instructed not to change their exercise habits. After 6 weeks participants will complete post-testing (described below) and be offered to be enrolled in the 6-week exercise group as described above. If participants decide to participate in the exercise group and still meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, they will perform baseline testing, 6 weeks of exercise followed by another post-testing.
