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.
