What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether adding a 10-minute visual stimulus-based agility exercise to a standard 35-minute exercise program can improve cognitive and physical performance in healthy adults aged 60 and older. Participants attend supervised sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks. The experimental group uses a Light Trainer system—a wall-mounted grid of lights that they tap as lights flash—while the control group does low-intensity activities. The goal is to see if this extra brain-body challenge boosts memory, reaction time, and daily function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a visual stimulus-based cognitive-motor agility exercise program using a Light Trainer system
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a simple, low-cost way to help older adults maintain mental sharpness and physical coordination.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 41 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The added benefit over standard exercise alone may be small or absent.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Community-dwelling older adults aged 60 years or older * Able to ambulate independently * Able to understand and follow basic exercise and testing instructions * Montreal Cognitive Assessment score of 23 or higher * No health condition that would limit safe participation in exercise * Able to participate regularly in the 8-week exercise program Exclusion Criteria: * Serious cardiovascular, neurological, orthopedic, or vestibular disease that could prevent safe participation in exercise * Recent surgery * Uncontrolled hypertension * Severe visual or hearing problems * Montreal Cognitive Assessment score below 23 * Use of medications known to substantially affect cognitive, psychomotor, balance, or motor performance * Very low physical function preventing safe participation in the exercise program
