111-C. Combining Physical and Cognitive Training for Brain Health

Cognitive health is a key predictor of independence, quality of life, and long-term care use among older adults. Yet many senior living communities still rely on passive brain-health approaches that lack measurable outcomes. This session will present results from a recent study showing that older adults who combined physical movement with cognitive processing in a single, interactive intervention achieved significant cognitive gains. Presenters will review the study's findings, which suggest that even low-frequency, consistent training can yield measurable benefits. They'll also offer tips for integrating cognitive-motor training into your wellness programs, reimbursement models, and population health strategies.
