Summary
This study tests whether personalized exercise programs—like football, walking, or home-based workouts—help people over 60 stay healthy and independent. Nearly 2,000 participants will be assigned to different exercise types or a control group. Researchers will track physical abilities, mental health, and social well-being over time.
