Summary

This study compared a 12-week adapted CrossFit program to usual activity in 60 older adults living in the community. The goal was to see if the program improved balance, mobility, and lower-body strength. Participants did supervised, safe exercises focused on functional movements. The main measure was the Timed Up and Go test, which assesses fall risk.
