Abstract

Cognitive and physical performance is impaired by aging and fatigue. Cognitive and exercise training may mitigate such impairments. Accordingly, we investigated the effect of Brain Endurance Training (BET) - combined cognitive and exercise training - on cognitive and physical performance when fresh and fatigued in older adults.

Research summary

The paper investigates the effects of Brain Endurance Training on cognitive and physical performance in older adults, which is relevant to aging and cognitive decline. However, it primarily focuses on training interventions rather than addressing the root causes of aging or lifespan extension. The findings may contribute to the field of cognitive health in older adults but do not represent a significant breakthrough or transformative impact on longevity research.
