• Cognitive task difficulty does not linearly increase prefrontal cortex activation; a moderate cognitive load optimally activates prefrontal resources.
• Excessive cognitive load reduces dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activation, demonstrating a 'cognitive overload' effect.
• Moderate cognitive load in dual-task training balances cognitive and motor performance, enhancing training effectiveness and safety.
• Prefrontal cortex activation correlates positively with subjective workload and negatively with task performance.
