Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to compare physical fitness, walking speed and hand reaction time measurements in older adults with different cognition levels according to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MOCA).

Case group (mild cognitive impairment) geriatric population with mild cognitive impairment |
Other: reaction time test
Reaction time tests consist of 3 sub-parameters as simple reaction time, selective reaction time and distinctive reaction time. Participants will do these tests on the computer.
Other: Physical fitness test
The physical fitness test will be evaluated with the senior fitness test used for geriatrics and the 8 meter walking speed test.

Reaction time tests consist of 3 sub-parameters as simple reaction time, selective reaction time and distinctive reaction time. Participants will do these tests on the computer.
Other: Physical fitness test
The physical fitness test will be evaluated with the senior fitness test used for geriatrics and the 8 meter walking speed test.
