Summary

This pilot study tested a 12-week high-intensity functional training program for adults aged 60 and older who have a long-term mobility disability but can still walk. The goal was to see if the program could improve walking speed, endurance, balance, and leg strength. Only 13 people took part, so results are preliminary, but early signs suggest the program may help ease mobility difficulties.
