NCT ID NCT07418970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether watching exercise videos before doing the exercises helps older adults improve their thinking, balance, tiredness, and physical abilities. 162 people aged 65 and older took part. Some did regular exercises, some watched videos of the exercises first, and some did no structured exercise. The goal was to see if adding video observation to exercise gives extra benefits for healthy aging.
