Summary
This study was designed to investigate the effects of Square-Stepping Exercise Training on cognitive functions and quality of life in geriatric individuals. The volunteer participants in the study were randomly divided into two groups: a square-stepping exercise group and a control group. In the study, participants in the exercise training groups received square stepping exercises three days a week for six weeks, while those in the control group did not undergo any training. Both groups were assessed before and six weeks after the training period. The investigators used several assessment tools including Hodkinson's Mental Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Stroop Test, Trail Making Test, and the Turkish World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale.

| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BEHAVIORAL | Square Stepping Exercise | The exercise is performed on a thin exercise mat divided into 40 small squares. Participants are shown specific step patterns on this mat and are instructed to repeat the same step pattern until the end of the exercise mat. Once a pattern is completed on the exercise mat, its mirror-image pattern is also performed. The basic pattern is repeated 3-5 times, followed by the same number of repetitions for the mirror-image pattern. However, if participants struggle with the pattern, it is repeated until they learn it. Individuals execute the demonstrated pattern on the exercise mat and return to the beginning of the mat after completing it. |
