Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The concurrent training arm will comprise of participant engaging in simultaneous cognitive and physical training. Participants will be cycling on a stationary cycle ergometer whilst engaging in specific cognitive tasks though BrainHQ software on a Microsoft Surface tablet. Participants will be cycling at above 60% of their age predicted heart rate maximum for 50 minutes with a 3-minute warm-up and cool-down period either side (56 minutes total). Both the physical and cognitive components of the intervention will be delivered by an appropriately qualified exercise professional with experience working with the target population and will be delivered face-to-face where participants attend the University of Canberra to complete the intervention. In total, participants will complete 24 x 50-minute sessions as 2 per week for 12 weeks. The use of a heartrate-based method for intensity will incite progressive overload for the physical component. Similarly, the BrainHQ software is adaptive and will allow for participants to progressively increase the difficulty of cognitive tasks throughout the intervention as they improve. Therefore, despite all participants completing the same duration and number of sessions, each individual’s experience will be slightly personalised based on both physical and cognitive capabilities. Each session, participants will complete up to 4 separate cognitive tasks within the BrainHQ software of a total of 6 tasks that will rotate between sessions, including: target tracker, eye for detail, double decision, scene crasher, mind bender and mental map which are detailed on BrainHQ's website https://v4.brainhq.com/

Comparator / control treatment
There are two control groups assocociated with this study, physical only training and cognitive only training.
Physical only:
The physical only training arm will comprise of participants cycling on a stationary cycle ergometer whilst watching low cognitively engaging YouTube videos on a Microsoft Surface tablet from a preset video playlist. Participants will be asked to cycle at above 60% of their age predicted heart rate maximum for 50 minutes with a 3-minute warm-up and cool-down period either side (56 minutes total). The intervention will be delivered by an appropriately qualified exercise professional with experience working with the target population and will be delivered face-to-face where participants attend the University of Canberra to complete the intervention. In total, participants will complete 25 x 50-minute sessions as 2 per week for 12 weeks. The use of the heartrate-based method for intensity will incite progressive overload as participants fitness will increase, requiring greater effort to increase heartrate. As the intervention is heartrate based for intensity, whilst the baseline requirement is the same, each participants experience will be slightly personalised based on physical capabilities.
Cognitive only:
The cognitive only training arm will comprise of participants sitting in a quiet room, engaging in cognitive training using BrainHQ software on a Microsoft Surface tablet. Participants will complete up to 5 different cognitive tasks during each training session of a total of 8 tasks that will rotate between sessions. Each session will be 50 minutes in length of engaging in cognitive tasks and will be delivered face-to-face at the University of Canberra, twice per week for 12 weeks (24 total sessions). The cognitive intervention will be delivered by an appropriately qualified exercise professional. The BrainHQ software is adaptive in nature such that when participants improve at any given task, it will get more difficult. Inversely, the tasks will get easier if participants struggle at the current level. This type of software addresses limitations of previous concurrent training literature where the progressive overload method was not implemented within the cognitive training component of the research. Each session, participants will complete up to 4 separate cognitive tasks within the BrainHQ software of a total of 6 tasks that will rotate between sessions, including: target tracker, eye for detail, double decision, scene crasher, mind bender and mental map which are detailed on BrainHQ's website https://v4.brainhq.com/

Driving skills
The driving simulator is a custom designed driving simulator by Hyperdrive to resemble the interior of a regular car. It has three pedals, a gear shifter, indicators, and a steering wheel. The simulator software is running on SCANER by AVSimulation, and other road users (apart from the participant) are programmed to respond in an intelligent way to changes in the environment. The driving environment appears on three screens, providing 180-degree peripheral vision.
Driving outcome 1 – reaction to traffic lights and scenarios
Participants will be asked to respond to traffic lights changing amber within task one. Participants will encounter six Intersections with different traffic regulations, including 2 sets of traffic lights and will be instructed to drive straight on each intersection and to comply with the traffic regulations. Additionally, at a certain point between two intersections a parked car will suddenly drive onto the road, close in front of the participant (with a time headway of 3 s).

Driving outcome 3 – time headway
For task 2, participants begin In an acceleration lane and will be Instructed to merge Into the traffic on the motorway, overtake a car and return to the left hand lane. Traffic in the right-hand lane adopted a preferred distance to the car in front of them. This distance will Increase for each consecutive car, making overtaking easier over time. Finally, participants will be instructed to leave the motorway and stop the car. Distance to other road users will be assessed by using the following measures during the overtaking manoeuvre: the time headway between the participant and the car in front of them, the time headway adopted by the car behind the participant, and the degree of deceleration of the car behind the participant.

Acceptability to a physical activity intervention
Acceptability Questionnaire: Developing an understanding of participants acceptability to physical activity Interventions can benefit the development of future studies and Interventions. Whilst there Is some use to validated acceptability questionnaires, significant modifications are required to match the specific circumstances of the proposed study. An approach guided by a hybrid of the parsimony of the Single-Item Narcissism Scale and the social psychology approach to ask about 'someone like you' rather than the Individual themselves to mitigate confounders associated with Individual's characteristics. A pre-intervention quantitative approach will be developed with both quantitative and qualitative methods for the post Intervention questionnaire. A 5-point scale will be adopted for all quantitative questions. Examples of proposed quantitative questions Include: 'How useful do you think an exercise intervention might be for friends your age?’ And ‘Do you think friends your age would be interested in a cognitively based intervention?’ Qualitative questions will be phrased similar to the following: ‘Do you feel participating in this study has changed your opinion about the [usefulness/likelihood of recommending] [exercise/cog/exercise + cog]?'

Statistical methods / analysis
Analyses will be implemented with an intention-to-treat protocol.
The efficacy of the intervention (Primary aim) will be analysed within a multi-level modelling (MLM) framework. MLM report maximum likelihood estimates and standard error which are adjusted for potential intra-class clustering where repeated observations within the same individuals are likely correlated over time. As primary and secondary outcomes reflect variables with a combination of different distributions (e.g. Gaussian (normal), Binomial, Poisson), Linear, Logistic and Poisson regressions can be easily implemented within the MLM framework.
As the intervention is a level 2 factor (between person effect) the power of the analyses are drawn from the level 2 N, the number of individual recruited into the study (see Power Analysis section for information on planned sample size estimate).
A benefit of the MLM approach is that missing data (either from missing a wave or non-response on a single item at that wave) can be implemented with the Full information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) estimation method. Complete data is not required. Sensitivity analyses will consider the potential impact of missing data by comparing results from models of cases with complete information and FIML models with all cases. Possible imputation methods will be considered if necessary (E.g. multiple imputation using chained equations).
Other analyses are proposed to answer secondary Research Questions (aims 2-6). Appropriate analyses will be implemented to address each question. For example, Cross-sectional analyses (e.g. baseline analyses of the sample on secondary outcomes) will be analysed within a generalized linear modelling (GLM) framework. As with MLM, GLM easily implement Linear, Logistic and Poisson regressions. Further exploratory analyses may be considered. Latent Class Analyses may examine combinations of risk factors which may moderate intervention efficacy. Mixture Growth analyses may examine whether particular risk/protective factors drive different trajectories in outcomes over time.
For all analysis, results will balance the probability P of effects reported with the substantive size of effect. And owing to the clinical nature of the study, even small effects will be considered by the potential clinical utility of the findings (e.g. small effects may produce substantive clinical changes).
We will also investigate the possible mediating effects of the intervention on outcome measures through mechanisms or other known mediating factors such as sleep, mental health and cardiovascular risks.
