Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week Taekwondo-based exercise program is practical and enjoyable for older adults aged 55 and up. Falls are a major health risk for seniors, and this program aims to improve balance and strength while keeping participants engaged. The trial involves 20 people and focuses on feasibility, satisfaction, and safety.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a fun, sustainable way for older adults to reduce fall risk and stay physically active.
