These activities require the ability to perform two or more tasks at the same time, which is known as a dual task. Purpose: To analyze physical and cognitive performance differences between memory and arithmetic dual tasks. Methods: Twenty-five women with fibromyalgia participated in this study. Participants performed three physical tests (back scratch, arm curl, and 10-step stair) as a single task and under two types of dual task (memory and arithmetic). Results: Differences between the single and dual tasks were observed in the back scratch and the 10-step stair tests using the arithmetic dual-task. Significant differences were only observed for the memory dual-task in the 10-step stair test. In addition, the performance in the back scratch and in the 10-step stair was significantly lower under the arithmetic compared to the memory-based dual task. Furthermore, a significant difference between these two types of dual task was obtained in the dual-task cost of 10-step stair. Regarding cognitive performance, a significantly lower percentage of correct responses was found in the AbDT compared to the MbDT in the 10-step stair test. Conclusions: the AbDT could have a higher impact on physical performance than the MbDT during the back scratch and the 10-step stair tests. The characteristics of the sample, environment, complexity of the motor task, and difficulty of the simultaneous cognitive task may also be relevant for understanding the differences in dual-task interference.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biology11070947","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,21]],"date-time":"2022-06-21T21:55:19Z","timestamp":1655848519000},"page":"947","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparison between the Impacts of Memory and Arithmetic-Based Dual Tasks on Physical Performance in Women with Fibromyalgia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"S\u00e1nchez-G\u00f3mez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Extremadura, Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte, Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Actividad F\u00edsica y Calidad de Vida (AFYCAV), 10003 Caceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0784-1753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Santos","family":"Villafaina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Extremadura, Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte, Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Actividad F\u00edsica y Calidad de Vida (AFYCAV), 10003 Caceres, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Desporto e Sa\u00fade, Escola de Sa\u00fade e Desenvolvimento Humano, Universidade de \u00c9vora, 7004-516 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5388-2009","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco Javier","family":"Dom\u00ednguez-Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Extremadura, Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte, Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Actividad F\u00edsica y Calidad de Vida (AFYCAV), 10003 Caceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0757-5937","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Luis","family":"Leon-Llamas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Extremadura, Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte, Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Actividad F\u00edsica y Calidad de Vida (AFYCAV), 10003 Caceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0410-6051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alvaro","family":"Murillo-Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Extremadura, Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte, Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Actividad F\u00edsica y Calidad de Vida (AFYCAV), 10003 Caceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1001-8883","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Narcis","family":"Gusi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Extremadura, Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte, Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Actividad F\u00edsica y Calidad de Vida (AFYCAV), 10003 Caceres, Spain"},{"name":"International Institute for Innovation in Aging, University of Extremadura, 10003 Caceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"319","DOI":"10.1016\/j.semarthrit.2016.08.012","article-title":"2016 Revisions to the 2010\/2011 fibromyalgia diagnostic criteria","volume":"46","author":"Wolfe","year":"2016","journal-title":"Semin.
