Search for: [Description = "Introduction. Postural control difficulty during sit to stand \(STS\) is a common and costly problem in older adults. A potentially important strategy to enhance postural control through exercise intervention is to add cognitive components. Aim of Study. To examine the effect of STS dual\-task training on postural control during STS, in eyes open \(EO\) and closed \(EC\) conditions in older women. Material and Methods. A total of 20 participants were randomly allocated into dual task \(STS training and simultaneous dual\-task\) \(n = 10\) and single task \(only STS training\) \(n = 10\). Results. Significant differences were observed pre to post in dual\-task training for velocity in mediolateral \(ML\) \(p < 0.05\) in EO condition, anteroposterior \(AP\) \(p = 0.009\), ML amplitude \(p = 0.005\), and AP velocity \(p = 0.007\) in the EC condition. Conclusions. These findings suggest that dual\-task training is an effective at improving postural control of older people with history of falling during STS."]
