Abstract

Aging involves a gradual physiological decline that affects physical activity, performance, fall risk, and quality of life in older adults. Exercise is a recommended intervention to counteract these effects; however, the comparative effectiveness of sensorimotor and strengthening exercise programs in community settings remains limited. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two community-based multimodal exercise programs (CMEPs) in improving physical activity, performance, fall prevention, and quality of life in older adults.

Research summary

The paper claims that two community-based multimodal exercise programs can improve physical activity, performance, fall prevention, and quality of life in older adults. This research is relevant as it addresses interventions that may mitigate the effects of aging, thereby contributing to healthier aging and potentially extending the functional lifespan of older adults.
