Aging suits simulate these conditions for younger individuals to enhance their empathy and understanding of older adults\u2019 challenges. Research on aging suits has recently increased, withevidence that these suits impair younger adults' motor performance; but, for a greater understanding of the motorchanges induced by aging suits, and, to identify any factors that may modify them, more research is needed. In this research, we explored how the presentation of the suit and the wearer\u2019s physical activity level affected motor performance. We divided 95 younger adults into two groups: (a) one informed about the suit\u2019s aging properties ( aging suit group); and (b) one in which participants were told that it was a posture training suit ( posture training group). Each group was further divided into low and high physical activity levels by a median-split method. Participants completed two fine motor tasks (i.e., placing and building bricks) and two gross motor tasks (i.e., heel-to-toe walking and figure-of-eight walking\/running) with and without the suit. The aging suit significantly affected motor performance on all tasks, but participants aware that it was an aging suit performed worse on the figure-of-eight walking\/running task than participants who thought it was a posture training suit. In addition, for the same motor task, the groups engaged in low physical activity were more affected by wearing the suit than those engaged in high physical activity. Thus, how aging suits are presented and the general activity level of wearers significantly influenced the aging suits\u2019 effects on motor performance. The findings from this study can guide future researchers in validating the use of these suits in larger studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00315125241276901","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,21]],"date-time":"2024-08-21T20:23:46Z","timestamp":1724271826000},"page":"1485-1503","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Aging Suit and Motor Performance in Young Adults: Effects Depend on Why the Suit is Worn!"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"131","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1167-7354","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilona","family":"Moutoussamy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Centre de Recherches sur la Cognition et l\u2019Apprentissage (UMR-CNRS, 7295), University of Tours, Tours, France"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, Psychologie des \u00c2ges de la Vie et Adaptation (EA 2114), University of Tours, Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristell","family":"Pothier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Psychologie des \u00c2ges de la Vie et Adaptation (EA 2114), University of Tours, Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucette","family":"Toussaint","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, University of Poitiers, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Centre de Recherches sur la Cognition et l\u2019Apprentissage (UMR-CNRS 7295), Poitiers, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sha\u00efma","family":"Kerroum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Centre de Recherches sur la Cognition et l\u2019Apprentissage (UMR-CNRS, 7295), University of Tours, Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurence","family":"Taconnat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Centre de Recherches sur la Cognition et l\u2019Apprentissage (UMR-CNRS, 7295), University of Tours, Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00315125241276901","unstructured":"AgeLab.
