This study was developed to evaluate the feasibility of training methods in a community centre and to evaluate their impact on mobility outcomes. Fifty-four participants were randomized to one of three 12-week training programs (three times\/week): aerobic (AE), gross motor abilities (GMA) or cognitive (COG). Feasibility was evaluated by calculating adherence, feedback from participants and long-term participation. The impact of these interventions on mobility was assessed by comparing pre- and post-program on Timed-up-and-go (TUG) and spontaneous walking speed (SWS) performances. Results showed relatively high rates of adherence (85.1%) and long-term participation (66.7%), along with favorable feedbacks. SWS significantly improved in COG (0.10 \u00b1 0.11 m.s\u22121; p = 0.004) and AE (0.06 \u00b1 0.11 m.s\u22121; p = 0.017) groups, and TUG performance was maintained in all groups. Results of this feasibility study demonstrated successful implementation of physical and cognitive training programs, encouraging the development of real-world applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20010762","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T04:17:38Z","timestamp":1672633058000},"page":"762","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bridging the Gap between Research and the Community: Implementing Physical and Cognitive Interventions to Improve Spontaneous Walking Speed in Older Adults"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Kristell","family":"Pothier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, PAVeA Laboratory (EA 2114), University of Tours, 37041 Tours, France"},{"name":"Research Centre, Institut Universitaire de G\u00e9riatrie de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3W 1W5, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Navin","family":"Kaushal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, School of Health and Human Sciences, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tudor","family":"Vrinceanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre, Institut Universitaire de G\u00e9riatrie de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3W 1W5, Canada"},{"name":"Research Centre, Montreal Heart Institute, Montr\u00e9al, QC H1T 1C8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3C 3J7, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2753-1189","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maxime","family":"Lussier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3C 3J7, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9421-7862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathalie","family":"Bailly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, PAVeA Laboratory (EA 2114), University of Tours, 37041 Tours, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francis","family":"Comte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre, Institut Universitaire de G\u00e9riatrie de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3W 1W5, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thien","family":"Vu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3C 3J7, Canada"},{"name":"Research Centre, Centre Hospitalier de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3C 3J7, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4868-7986","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicolas","family":"Berryman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre, Institut Universitaire de G\u00e9riatrie de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3W 1W5, Canada"},{"name":"D\u00e9partement des Sciences de l\u2019Activit\u00e9 Physique, Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H2X 1Y4, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Louis","family":"Bherer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre, Institut Universitaire de G\u00e9riatrie de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3W 1W5, Canada"},{"name":"Research Centre, Montreal Heart Institute, Montr\u00e9al, QC H1T 1C8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3C 3J7, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bergland, A., J\u00f8rgensen, L., Emaus, N., and Strand, B.H.
