Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the potential of multidomain training using Immersive and Interactive Wall Exergames (I2WE) to improve the cognitive and physical functions of older adults. This new generation of exergames offers specific advantageous characteristics (e.g., immersion, virtual cognitive solicitation, high physical stimulation, complex motor skills, multiple social interactions) that could make I2WE an enjoyable multidomain training medium for older adults. A pilot study was set up with 34 participants (M = 69.91 years old). It used the pre-tests – training (3 months, 2 one-hour sessions per week for the 2 groups) – post-tests method to compare: a) the cognitive and the Dual-Task (DT) effects (primary outcomes), b) the physical effects and perceived pleasure (secondary outcomes) between an experimental group following an I2WE program (n = 19) to an active control group performing a Walking and Muscle-Strengthening (WMS) program (n = 15). While visuospatial short-term memory was improved for both groups, only I2WE training enhanced visuospatial working memory, inhibition, and DT. All physical functions, except upper body strength, were enhanced for the 2 groups. The perceived pleasure was higher for the I2WE group than the WMS group. The results of this first study have important clinical implications, showing that I2WE can optimize strategies to improve older adults' physical and cognitive health. Virtual and immersive cognitive stimulation combined with varied physical activity (i.e., aerobic, muscle-strengthening, complex motor skills) appear to be major assets of these new exergames. Moreover, the high level of perceived pleasure to I2WE makes it a promising tool for engaging older adults in sustained multidomain practice.
