Non-pharmacological interventions, such as physical exercise and cognitive strategies, have been proposed to mitigate physical and cognitive decline. However, the effectiveness of combining these approaches remains unclear.\nObjective \nTo evaluate the effects of instability resistance training (IRT) performed with or without mindfulness on mobility under single- and dual-task conditions and fall- related outcomes in older adults with MCR.\nMethods \nIn this parallel-group randomized controlled trial, 56 community-dwelling older adults with MCR (\u226565 years) were allocated to IRT or combined with mindfulness (IRT + Mind). Both groups trained twice weekly for 24 weeks. Primary outcomes included single- and dual-task Timed Up and Go (TUG). Secondary outcomes were dual-task cost, concern about falling (Falls Efficacy Scale\u2013International), and balance confidence (Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale). Outcomes were analyzed using generalized mixed models.\nResults \nFor single-task TUG, a significant main effect of time was observed (p &lt; .001), with similar improvements in both groups (0.62\u20130.80 s). Dual-task TUG performance improved over time for both cognitive conditions, with significant group \u00d7 time interactions favoring the IRT group (p \u2264 .049). Dual-task cost did not change significantly. Balance confidence improved significantly over time in both groups (mean increase \u224814 points; p &lt; .001), whereas concern about falling remained unchanged.\nConclusion\nIRT improved mobility and confidence in balance in older adults with MCR. The addition of mindfulness did not provide incremental benefits, suggesting that motor-based training alone is sufficient to promote functional gains in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5770\/cgj.29.945","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]],"date-time":"2026-09-02T17:44:33Z","timestamp":1788371073000},"page":"189-199","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Does Adding Mindfulness to Instability Resistance Training Enhance Dual-Task Mobility and Fall-Related Outcomes in Older Adults with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome?
