Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week adapted sports program can improve balance, physical function, and thinking in adults aged 60 and older. 140 participants will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or their usual routine. Researchers will measure balance and mobility before and after the program to see if the exercises make a difference.
