Table 1.
Socio-demographic characteristics of the two age groups.
Fig 1.
Percentage of women and men walking slower than 1.2 m/s.
The graphs represent each of the four walking conditions (A–D). DT, dual-task; ST, single-task.
Fig 2.
Walking speed under the four walking conditions.
Mean walking speed was higher in the younger age group in all four respective walking conditions (all p < .001). Mean values of adjacent boxplots in the respective age group are significantly different (all p < .05). The dashed green line represents the required 1.2 m/s walking speed to cross streets safely within the green–yellow phase of pedestrian lights. DT, dual-task; ST, single-task.
Table 2.
Walking speed, dual-task costs, and 5-chair-rises-test performance.
Fig 3.
Association between fast single-task walking speed and performance in the 5-chair-rises test.
The gray line represents the regression line (y = 20.53 − 6.09 × x, R2 linear = 0.310).
