Summary

This study tested whether a 12-week adapted CrossFit program could improve balance and mobility in older adults living in the community. Sixty participants were split into two groups: one did the modified CrossFit workouts, the other continued their usual activities. The main goal was to see if the exercise group could complete a timed walking test faster, which indicates better balance and a lower risk of falls.
