Abstract

Motor-cognitive training and exergaming often only reach low-to-medium intensities that limits their training efficiency. This study evaluated the physiological profile of different exercises on a novel motor-cognitive training technology designed to cover a broad range of exercise intensities. Twenty-six healthy trained adults (17 males, 23.7±3.8years) performed five motor-cognitive training task son the SKILLCOURT technology. Oxygen consumption (VO2), heart rate (HR),blood [lactate], perceived physical exertion (RPE)responses, and metabolic equivalent (MET) were assessed and compared to an incremental treadmill ramp test determining the maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and maximal heart rate(HRmax). Computer-based cognitive training served as control condition. Motor-cognitive exercises reached a higher %VO2max and %HRmax levels when compared to computer-based training (p<0.001). Average intensity varied significantly between motor-cognitive tasks, with %VO2max ranging from 22% to 81% (p<0.001),%HRmax from 49% to 89% (p<0.001), METs from 3.57 to 13.37 (p<0.001),blood [lactate] from 0.93 to 7.81mmol·L−1 (p<0.001), and RPE from 8.5 to 16.4(p<0.001). Motor-cognitive training covers a wide range of exercise intensities. This supports individual training subscription and allows high-intensity training to facilitate cardio-vascular adaptations and neural plasticity.
