Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week program of physical exercise and cognitive training can improve quality of life, thinking, and mobility in adults aged 70 and older. 156 participants will be randomly assigned to exercise, cognitive training, both, or a control group. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to help older adults maintain independence and well-being.
