  Commentary on “Group-Based Exercise Combined with Dual-Task Training Improves Gait but not Vascular Health in Active Older Adults without Dementia” - Missed Opportunities for Mediation Analyses
  Author(s): Gregory MAGregory MA
  
  This commentary considers the implications of the findings related to the effect of a community-based, multiple modality and dual-task exercise training program in the Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics. Findings from this study suggest that participants who performed the multiple modality and dual-task exercise intervention experienced greater improvements in global cognition, greater elevations in dual-task gait speed and dual-task step-length and greater reductions in dual-task stride time variability when compared to participants who did not perform the dual-task component of the exercise training program. The ability of exercise to impart cognitive and other physiological benefits has been long understood; however, the mechanisms that facilitate these training-induced improvements remain elusive. Mediation analyses provide a unique avenue to investigate the relationship betwe.. Read More»
