Effects of Exergaming Session Frequency on Work Performance, Cognition, and Mobility in Adults Age 55 to 65

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Aim - determine the immediate and lasting effects of Exergaming frequency on work performance, health, motor, and cognitive function in clerical employees.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Hypothesis - In sedentary clerical workers the introduction of even 1 session / week exercise can cause lasting and correlated improvements in work, motor, and cognitive function, and effect which plateaus at 2 compared with 3 sessions / week. However, 6 months follow up would show residual effects only at the 3/week frequency in those who had become sedentary again.

| Experimental: Healthy control / Exergame 1/week<br>In the first 8 week-long only control group, The group will do 1 training/week for the next 8 weeks. | Other: Healthy control / Exergaming 1/week<br>* In the first 8 week-long only control group. For the next 8 weeks, the control group will do 1 workout per week.<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Motor function | Step test (as described by Prieske et al, motion and endurance test) | 8 weeks | 
| Motor Function | Grip strength - Chair rise (as part of SPPB) the higher score better performance | 8 weeks | 
| MOBILITY | -SPPB - the higher score better performance | 8 weeks | 
| BALANCE Functional reach | Beam walking (4, 8, 12 cm 3 trials each, summed distance score) The longer the journey is, the better the performance | 8 weeks | 
| Cognitive function | - MMSE (questionnaire…) the higher score better performance | 8 weeks | 
| Cognitive function | - Processing speed: The Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) | 8 weeks | 
| Mobility | 6MWT - The longer the journey is, the better the performance | 8 weeks | 
| Mobility | Fast gait speed over 10 m - speed, the faster the better | 8 weeks | 
| Cognitive function | Verbal and visual memory span and working memory (0-100 visual analog sclae-the higher score better performance) | 8 weeks |
