Summary
This study looks at whether listening to personalized, tempo-synchronous music playlists can help sedentary older adults exercise more and enjoy it. Researchers will track 150 community-dwelling seniors over 8 months as they participate in supervised exercise sessions with music. The goal is to see if this approach improves physical activity levels and positive feelings about exercise.
