The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a group-based balance and mobility-training program on executive function in older adults at risk for falls. Eligible participants were assigned to a non-exercising usual activities (UA) group (n = 15) or a balance and mobility (BM) group (n = 15) on a first-come-first-served basis. The BM group attended 60-minute classes twice a week for twelve consecutive weeks. A two-way (Group X Time) Mixed Model (MM) Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted to determine whether significant differences existed between groups as a function of the intervention for the following dependent measures: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as the primary measure; Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale (FAB), 8-Foot Up-and-Go test, and 30-second Chair Stand as secondary measures. A secondary analysis was conducted to investigate whether group differences existed when the groups were further subdivided into above- and below-average cognition subgroups based on pre-intervention MoCA scores. The results of a 4 (Group) X 2 (Time) MM ANOVA indicated that no significant group differences were evident post-intervention for the cognition or physical performance measures. The non-significant findings may be attributed to cognition test limitations, lack of statistical power due to a small sample size, and other exercise related variables (e.g., type of exercise, dose). Despite the lack of statistical findings, some findings of practical significance were evident. This type of exercise intervention warrants future investigation.
