Summary

This study investigates why older adults respond so differently to the same exercise program. Researchers will track 304 adults aged 60 and older through a 6-month exercise intervention, measuring changes in overall health and function. The goal is to identify factors that predict who benefits most, paving the way for personalized exercise prescriptions.
