OBJECTIVEThis study explores the effects of physical activities on cognitive performance in healthy subjects, specifically evaluating Serial Subtract 7 Test (SST) performance during a cognitive-stepping dual task influenced by the 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) with and without music. METHODSA controlled experiment was conducted using the Ambulosono device to standardize walking exercises. 54 high school students participated, undergoing the 6MWT in different scenarios: Verbal 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) or Music-Guided Walking (MU). Final data from 43 students was used in the analysis. The SST measured cognitive changes in both single-task and dual-task conditions. RESULTSThe 6MWT significantly enhanced cognitive performance in both single and dual-task conditions. However, the addition of music did not show a substantial improvement in cognitive performance. The findings indicated the positive impact of 6MWT on cognitive abilities, irrespective of musical accompaniment. CONCLUSIONSThis research contributes to the understanding of how physical exercises can modulate cognitive functions in healthy individuals. It highlights the potential of 6MWT in enhancing cognitive performance, suggesting further exploration into the role of physical activity in cognitive health.
