Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of music-enhanced calisthenic exercises on balance, muscle strength, proprioception, and quality of life (QoL) in sedentary older adults. Thirty-one participants (mean age: 74.41 ± 5.86 years) were randomly assigned to three groups: Calisthenic Exercise Group (CEG), Music-based Calisthenic Exercise Group (MCEG), and Control Group (CG). The intervention consisted of 16 sessions over 8 weeks, including a 10-minute warm-up, 30 minutes of exercise, and a 10-minute cool-down. Assessments included the Timed Up and Go Test (balance), Sit-to-Stand Test (strength), joint position sense tests (proprioception), and the Nottingham Health Profile (QoL). Both exercise groups showed significant improvements in all measured outcomes (p\<0.05), with the MCEG demonstrating superior gains, particularly in energy levels and physical function. These findings support the use of music to enhance the benefits of exercise in older adults.

Music-based Calisthenic Exercise

Participants in this group will perform 8 weeks of calisthenic exercises with background music. Each session includes a 10-minute warm-up, 30 minutes of music-based exercises (e.g., seated leg lifts, chair squats, arm curls), and a 10-minute cool-down. Elastic resistance bands will be introduced from week 5 to increase intensity. Music tracks are selected to enhance motivation and engagement.
