NCT ID NCT06842849
First seen Jan 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether a structured exercise program—two days of multimodal exercise plus one day of walking each week—improves physical, foot, and mental health in adults over 59 living in a rural area. Researchers will compare a group already in the program for a year, a newly enrolled group, and a control group that is active but not in the program. The goal is to see if the program increases moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and improves mobility and balance.
