Summary

This study tests a 12-week group exercise program called Safe & Joyful Walk for adults aged 60 and older living in Nanchang, China. The goal is to see if it's practical and helps improve balance and reduce falls compared to Tai Chi. Thirty-six participants will attend classes, practice at home, and be followed for 36 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
exercise programme
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to reduce falls and improve balance in older adults living in urban communities.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to all older adults. The program requires regular attendance and home practice, which some may find hard to maintain.
