Abstract

Aging leads to physiological decline, increasing the risk of frailty, sarcopenia, and falls, which impact older adults' physical activity, performance, and quality of life. Exercise is recommended for mitigating these effects, yet the optimal approach remains unclear. This trial will compare two community-based multimodal exercise programs-sensorimotor and strengthening exercise-to evaluate their effectiveness in enhancing physical activity, performance, fall prevention, and quality of life. The findings will guide evidence-based recommendations for promoting functional independence and healthy aging among community-dwelling older adults.

Research summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of two community-based multimodal exercise programs on physical activity and quality of life in older adults. The focus on exercise as a means to enhance functional independence and promote healthy aging aligns with longevity research goals.
