Aging brings risks but they’re not set in stone.
As we age, reaction time slows, coordination fades, and focus can waver - leading to more falls, injuries, and a loss of confidence. These changes can also accelerate conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Even healthy, active adults in their early 60s begin experiencing slower reaction time. This often goes unnoticed - but it's the first layer of vulnerability for future falls, hesitation behind the wheel, and reduced confidence in new environments.
Balance begins to noticeably decline, especially when multitasking (e.g. walking while talking or turning quickly). Many report “playing it safe” in daily movements - an early signal of fear of falling.
Retrieving names, recalling steps, or making quick decisions can slow. It’s harder to switch between tasks. These changes are subtle but affect independence - and cognitive decline often accelerates if not addressed early.
Juggling simultaneous tasks - like walking while talking, navigating new environments, or keeping up in social settings - becomes harder. This leads to reduced participation in activities and increased social withdrawal.
This is when fear often overtakes function. Seniors begin to avoid walking unassisted, turn down social invitations, or lose confidence in their physical abilities. Falls become more frequent - and dangerous.
How We Help
We train the mind and body to move as one.
Cognitive Athletics uses coach-led, science-informed training to help older adults improve both brain function and physical movement - measurably and safely.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s cognitive and physical level
Visual progress tracking keeps users engaged and motivated
Fast-paced, low-impact drills improve reaction time and coordination
Coaches lead every session to ensure safety and success
Backed by neuroscience. Proven in real life.
Cognitive Athletics is built on principles of neuroplasticity - the brain’s ability to grow and adapt through training. Our Smart Pad and Signal Training methodology have been developed alongside aging experts, therapists, and scientists to improve function and quality of life.
Flexible programs for every environment
Whether you’re supporting one person at home or 50 residents at a center, our platform adapts to your setting.

FAQ
Answer your questions
Cognitive Athletics is a coach-led training system that improves cognitive and physical performance. Using the Smart Pad and our signal-based method, we help older adults improve reaction time, focus, balance, and coordination - safely and measurably.
Our method, called Signal Training, delivers quick-response visual cues through the Smart Pad. Seniors respond with movements that activate both mind and body. Each session is short, adaptive, and led by a trained coach who guides the user in real time.
Yes. Every session is designed to be low-impact and coach-supervised. Drills are tailored to each person’s level and ability, with safety as a top priority. We work in collaboration with healthcare professionals and aging experts.
Not at all. While we’ve trained over 10,000 professional athletes, our program is designed for every ability level - including those with mobility issues, cognitive decline, or no previous training experience.
While Cognitive Athletics is not a cure, our method is used in programs that support those with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. We focus on improving cognitive engagement, motor control, and confidence - all of which play a critical role in slowing decline.
Yes. Our assessments and training protocols are grounded in peer-reviewed research in neuroplasticity, sensorimotor learning, and attention systems. We’ve built the platform in collaboration with neuroscientists, therapists, and fitness professionals.
We target reaction time, decision making, timing, attention, task switching, memory, and executive function - skills that affect independence, safety, and daily confidence.
Both. Our programs are flexible and can be run in senior centers, assisted living homes, rehab clinics, or at home with a caregiver. One-on-one and group formats are available and fully supported.
All sessions are coach-led. Either a certified Cognitive Athletics Coach leads the session or we train your staff using our Coach Certification Program, designed for caregivers, therapists, and wellness staff.
Yes. We offer a Coach Certification Program that equips professionals to safely and effectively run training sessions within your organization.
Most users begin to see improvement in 3-6 weeks, including faster reactions, better movement control, and improved attention. Progress is tracked through repeat tests and visible performance data.
Not necessarily. It complements them. Cognitive Athletics bridges the gap between mental and physical training. It’s a unique layer of care that can be integrated into wellness, fitness, or rehab programs.
Yes. Our digital platform tracks performance and progress, visualizes results, and helps coaches tailor each session. We also have printable results for those who are less tech savvy.
We work with senior living facilities, clinics, home care providers, therapists, insurance companies, and community organizations to deliver high-impact cognitive training at scale.
Yes. We offer demo sessions, pilot programs, and onboarding support to ensure it’s the right fit for your community.
