Sitting down to get stronger: chair exercise and Kids' activities may boost brain health in seniors
NCT ID NCT07335978
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 16-week program of chair exercises followed by intergenerational activities (like playing with children) could help older adults with physio-cognitive decline syndrome. The 100 participants were aged 60-75 and had mild physical and cognitive issues. The program aimed to improve frailty, strength, walking speed, memory, and a brain protein called mBDNF. The control group received only general health advice.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve strength, mobility, and quality of life in older adults with cognitive frailty.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with 100 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the benefits may be modest. No serious risks are expected from these activities.
