PURPOSE: Children with Down syndrome (DS) often experience motor and cognitive delays. Dual-task (DT) interventions targeting both domains may offer a comprehensive strategy for cognitive enhancement. This study examined and compared the effects of cognitive-motor dual-task (CMDT) training and exergaming on cognitive performance in children with DS.
METHODS: Twenty-three children with DS, aged 8-14 years, took part in an 8-week study protocol. Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention, during Weeks 1 and 8, respectively. The intervention included twelve 45-min sessions held over six weeks (Week 2 to 7) from September to December 2024. Eleven received the exergaming protocol; twelve received CMDT training. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) adapted for DS. Outcomes included attention and psychomotor speed, memory, and executive function.
RESULTS: Significant time effects were observed for reaction time (p < 0.01, η2 = 0.31), error reduction (p = 0.01, η2 = 0.25), single-task errors (p = 0.01, η2 = 0.24), and side block errors (p = 0.05, η2 = 0.17): notably, all significant effects reflected positive improvements in attention and executive function over the course of the intervention. Both groups exhibited a significant increase in incongruency latency from pre-to post-intervention (p < 0.01, η2 = 0.33) No significant memory or group-by-time effects emerged.
CONCLUSION: CMDT and exergaming produced comparable improvements in processing speed, attentional control, and inhibitory function, supporting their use in cognitively engaging physical activity programs. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT06146907).
