VIDEO 14. Dual task exercise

Dual-task exercises can be applied in a healthy geriatric population. These exercises involve activities that require an individual to perform two different tasks simultaneously. Such exercises can be used to cope with challenges encountered during daily life activities, maintain balance, reduce the risk of falls, and enhance cognitive functions. Particularly in elderly individuals, the simultaneous use of motor skills and cognitive functions is crucial in daily life. Dual-task exercises may include activities such as talking while walking, maintaining balance while carrying an object, or performing multiple tasks simultaneously.
