N2 - Activities of everyday life (ADL) frequently require simultaneous cognitive and motor task execution, termed dual-tasks (DT), often leading to performance decrements. Motor function assessments during DT, like walking, commonly overlook the natural movement sequences of ADL. Despite its significance, few studies examine DT effects on mobility in younger adults. Addressing these gaps, we utilised the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) to investigate the impact of various cognitive and motor DT on younger individuals. Twenty younger adults (24.36 ± 5.38 yrs) performed five conditions: TUG, simple cognitive DT (SCTUG), complex cognitive DT (CCTUG), simple motor DT (SMTUG), and complex motor DT (CMTUG). The cognitive workload is measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Results showed an increase in the activity of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during SCTUG, CCTUG, and CMTUG. These results can enhance our understanding of DT workload during mobility, benefiting not only older age adults but also for younger people.
