Summary

This study investigates whether a 12-week program of resistance band exercises, combined with personalized fitness advice, can improve balance, muscle function, and power in older adults who have low muscle power. Participants perform leg exercises twice a week and receive guidance based on their fitness test results. The goal is to see if this low-cost, home-based approach can help older people maintain mobility and reduce fall risk.
