Summary
This study will compare two types of exercise—progressive resistance training and functional training—to see which one better improves balance and reduces fall risk in adults aged 65 and older. About 39 participants will take part in an 8-week program with three sessions per week. The goal is to find a simple, effective way to help older adults stay steady and independent.
