The Influence of Gender on Dual Task Performance in Young Healthy Adults
An observational study of Cognitive Change and Motor Activity, run by Jouf University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.
Trial summary
Dual tasking (DT), or the act of conducting multiple, simultaneous tasks, is wide spread in daily life .In particular, the vast majority of mobility tasks we complete (e.g., standing, walking, stepping, etc.) occur while distracted by another motor and/or cognitive task. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: The Influence of Gender on Dual Task Performance in Young Healthy Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Comparing Cognitive Task and Motor Performance.
Dual tasking (DT), or the act of conducting multiple, simultaneous tasks, is wide spread in daily life .In particular, the vast majority of mobility tasks we complete (e.g., standing, walking, stepping, etc.) occur while distracted by another motor and/or cognitive task. A common feature of DT is that performance on one or both tasks is diminished when completed together .Understanding the relationship between gender and dual task performance is important because this knowledge could help inform us the development of interventions or training programs that target these differences and improve overall performance. Aims: To investigate the gender-related differences in single task performance through motor torque, cognitive tasks and walking speed, and the combined dual-task costs considering both motor and cognitive performance in a sample of young adults
Read the detailed description
gender differences on dual task performance in young healthy adults. Dual task performance refers to the ability of an individual to perform two tasks simultaneously, which can be a challenging cognitive task because the human brain has a limited capacity for attention and processing. When an individual attempts to perform two tasks at once, they must divide their attention and resources between the two tasks, which can lead to decreased performance and increased errors.
The study will evaluate motor performance, muscle force production, and average speed through a walking test. Sixty non-athlete participants (30 female and 30 male) will be recruited, and ANCOVA will be used for statistical analysis.The participants will perform the following tasks: single mobility tasks (average speed through walking test for 45 seconds), single muscle force production, single cognitive task, dual-task condition: walking test and cognitive task, and dual-task condition: muscle torque test and cognitive task

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cognition
a serial subtraction of 3 from a random number between 100 and 150, the duration of each cognitive tasks was measured using a stopwatch of 45s.
Measured: 45 seconds
Secondary outcomes (2)
Average speed
One step app by iphone
Measured: 45 seconds
Muscle force production
The Biodex System 4-Pro Isokinetic Strength Dynamometer was used to quantify muscle torque in the knee extension
Measured: 45 seconds
