    changes in brain signal complexity are associated with cognitive decline and reduced
    neural adaptivity in older adults. Exergaming offers a promising prophylactic
    intervention combining physical and cognitive training. The aim of the present
    study was to assess how exergaming alters the temporal trajectory of brain signal
    complexity at rest and during gameplay in older adults.</jats:p>\r\n                  </jats:sec>\r\n
    \                 <jats:sec>\r\n                    <jats:title>Methods</jats:title>\r\n
    \                   <jats:p>Twenty-eight healthy older adults participated in
    a 4-week exergaming intervention. Electroencephalography was recorded using 64
    electrodes at rest (pre- and post-intervention) and during exergaming (pre-, mid-,
    and post-intervention). Brain signal complexity was quantified using multiscale
    entropy across 64 time scales on preprocessed signals.</jats:p>\r\n                  </jats:sec>\r\n
    \                 <jats:sec>\r\n                    <jats:title>Results</jats:title>\r\n
    \                   <jats:p>Post-intervention resting-state analysis revealed
    significant reductions at fine and increases at coarse scales in frontal, central,
    and posterior entropy. During gameplay, entropy declined widespread by mid-intervention,
    particularly at coarse scales over frontal, central and temporal regions. From
    mid- to post-intervention, the decline narrowed leaving a net pre-to-post reduction
    concentrated at coarse scales in these regions.</jats:p>\r\n                  </jats:sec>\r\n
    \                 <jats:sec>\r\n                    <jats:title>Discussion</jats:title>\r\n
    \                   <jats:p>Resting-state changes indicated a shift toward a younger
    brain profile, characterized by a transition from age-related increases in local
    processing to enhanced distributed processing, which may potentially mitigate
    the rise in neural modularity associated with aging. During gameplay, brain signal
    complexity decreased in week 2, followed by a modest change by week 4, consistent
    with the framework in which complexity initially streamlines and then adjusts
    toward a task-specific optimum. These findings suggest that exergaming can beneficially
    modulate brain complexity in older adults, offering the potential to reduce age-related
    neural decline and support healthy brain aging.</jats:p>\r\n                  </jats:sec>@eng"
