Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a long-term exercise program can improve physical health and well-being in older women aged 60 years and older who live in the community.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* Does taking part in a supervised exercise program lower waist size?
* Does the exercise program improve walking speed, leg strength, and the ability to move safely?
* Does the program improve motivation for physical activity and feelings of support and well-being?

Researchers will compare a Supervised Multi-Domain Exercise Program (intervention group) with Usual Daily Activities (No Structured Exercise) (control group) to see whether the supervised exercise program leads to better physical and psychological outcomes.

Participants will:

* Be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or a control group
* Take part in supervised exercise sessions twice a week for 12 months if assigned to the exercise group
* Complete physical tests, body measurements, and questionnaires about motivation and well-being at the start of the study and after 12 months

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Supervised Multidomain Exercise Program

Participants engaged in a supervised multi-domain exercise program conducted twice per week for 12 months, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes. The program included neuromotor activities, muscle-strengthening exercises, aerobic training, balance exercises, flexibility activities, and simple cognitive tasks. Exercise intensity was monitored using the Borg Category-Ratio 10 Rating of Perceived Exertion (CR-10), a simple scale that allows participants to rate how hard the exercise feels, along with an affective valence scale to monitor feelings of comfort or discomfort during exercise. Motivational strategies based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) were incorporated throughout the intervention to support engagement and long-term participation.
