Virtual fitness classes aim to keep aging veterans on their feet

NCT ID NCT07206368

Summary

This study is testing whether a virtual group exercise program combined with health education is better than health education alone at reducing the risk of falls and increasing daily activity in older Veterans. It focuses on Veterans aged 55+ who have obesity and signs of muscle loss (sarcopenia), a combination that makes falls more likely. The goal is to improve strength, balance, and mobility without focusing on weight loss, which can sometimes weaken muscles.
