Study Summary

This trial looks at whether a walking regime with or without a gamified app can improve cognitive outcomes for healthy adults.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults who can read, write, and speak English. Participants must be willing to walk daily for 30 minutes and wear a fitness tracker like a Fitbit. They should not already have a walking routine or use electronic medical devices like pacemakers, nor should they have visual impairments that prevent app usage or severe diseases affecting movement or cognition.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effects of a regular walking routine on cognitive health in two groups: one group just walks (W), while the other walks and uses an inhibitory control training game called PolyRules! (W+PolyRules!). The goal is to see if adding the game improves mental sharpness more than walking alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves basic physical activity and a cognitive training app, side effects are minimal but may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or strain from walking.
