To document the effects of square-stepping exercise (SSE) on motor and cognitive function in older adults.
Five online databases were searched in May 2021. Controlled studies published from 2006 to May 2021 were included. The experimental group received SSE alone or SSE combined with other exercise(s), whereas the control group received no training or other exercise(s). Motor and cognitive outcomes included balance, fall risk, agility, endurance, gait speed, flexibility, muscle strength, reaction time, global cognitive function, memory, and executive function.
Ten articles with a total of 920 participants were included. Static balance (p=0.0009), dynamic balance (p=0.0008), fall risk (p<0.00001), and agility (p=0.02) improved more in the intervention group than in the control group. However, SSE did not seem to exert beneficial effects on cognitive function.
In older adults, SSE provided beneficial effects on motor function, including static and dynamic balance, risk of falls, and agility. However, positive effects on cognitive function were not observed and require further investigation.
记录方步运动(SSE)对老年人运动和认知功能的影响。
2021 年 5 月检索了 5 个在线数据库。纳入了 2006 年至 2021 年 5 月发表的对照研究。实验组单独接受 SSE 或 SSE 联合其他运动,而对照组不接受任何训练或其他运动。运动和认知结果包括平衡、跌倒风险、敏捷性、耐力、步态速度、柔韧性、肌肉力量、反应时间、总体认知功能、记忆和执行功能。
纳入了 10 篇文章,共 920 名参与者。干预组的静态平衡(p=0.0009)、动态平衡(p=0.0008)、跌倒风险(p<0.00001)和敏捷性(p=0.02)的改善均优于对照组。然而,SSE 似乎对认知功能没有有益的影响。
在老年人中,SSE 对运动功能有有益的影响,包括静态和动态平衡、跌倒风险和敏捷性。然而,对认知功能没有观察到积极影响,需要进一步研究。
