Summary
This study looked at how two different 8-week group exercise programs affect balance, mobility, strength, and quality of life in women aged 65 to 75. One program was the standard Norwegian 'Strong and Steady' concept, and the other was a modified version with more functional movements. The goal was to see which approach helps older adults move better in daily life.
