Study Description

Quasi-experimental, controlled, non-randomised two-arm pilot, with an experimental group (table tennis exercise) and an active control group (cognitive training based on board games). Interventions in both groups will take place twice a week for 6 weeks (12 sessions in total). The main variables to be assessed will be motor and cognitive. As secondary variables, clinical and daily life aspects will be assessed. As results, it is expected that the experimental group will obtain improvements in motor variables compared to the control group after receiving the interventions. However, improvements in cognitive variables and secondary variables are expected to be similar in both groups.
