Summary

In this study, investigators recruited older adults aged 60 to 80 years and utilized a parallel experimental design. A total of 32 participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The intervention consisted of a 70-min-long exercise game-based mat training session conducted twice weekly for 10 consecutive weeks. Each session included a 10-min warm-up, approximately 45 min of primary training, and a 15-min cool-down and stretching routine. Participants completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL, Taiwanese Version) before and after the intervention. Additionally, the functional fitness assessment were conducted.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

The group-based mat exercise training on experimental group.

The training program is divided into two phases: the first phase focuses on fundamental movements, whereas the second phase introduces more advanced exercises. With progress, additional exercise equipment is incorporated, along with increased sets, duration, movement variations, and training intensity. Training sessions (10-week duration) can be conducted in a simple, progressive manner or a game-competitive format.The control group maintained their usual daily activities.

BEHAVIORAL

The control group

The control group maintained their usual daily activities.
