1. Google Earth Pilot Project
By: Courtney, Davey, Umang, Dharani

2. IMPLICATIONS OF CONCURRENT
INTERVENTIONS
● Both exercise & cognitive training promote improvements in cognitive
function
● Concurrently combining exercise & cognitive training may lead to
greater improvement in cognitive function
● Dual-task trade off between the tasks may occur thus should be
examined

3. METHODS
● Accelerometers
○ Left and right ankle
○ ECG
● NuStep
○ Accumulated steps (average steps/min)
○ Watts (average Watts)
● Google Earth data
○ Longitude and latitude
● Joystick data
○ Direction taken and duration of turns (left and right)
● Scales
○ RPE, FAS, FS

4. Familiarization with Google Earth
Condition 1 and 3: Exercise alone
Pedaling at self-selected pace for five minutes
Condition 2 and 4: Exercise + Wayfinding
Navigate while pedaling through unknown city using the joystick
METHODS

5. RESULTS: AVERAGE WATTS

6. RESULTS: Paths taken in GE
Subject 1 Subject 2

7. RESULTS: NUSTEP DATA

8. RESULTS: JOYSTICK DATA
Subject 2

9. FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
Analyzing accelerometer data
Google Earth video
RPE, FS and FMS
HR reserve
Exercise HR = % intensity *( HR max - HR rest) +HR rest
