Video game workouts fight frailty in seniors

NCT ID NCT06216236

Summary

This study tested whether using a Kinect virtual reality system for aerobic exercise could improve physical fitness and quality of life for older adults showing early signs of frailty. Researchers compared 64 community-dwelling adults over 60 who either used the VR exercise program or did traditional exercise for 30 minutes, three times a week for eight weeks. The goal was to see if the interactive, game-like VR system made exercise more engaging and effective at improving strength, balance, and walking ability.
