Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the Ideomotor Program in healthy older adults living in the community. The main research questions are:

1\) Is the Ideomotor Program effective in improving cognitive function? 2) Is the Ideomotor Program effective in improving motor function? 3) Is the Ideomotor Program effective in improving overall well-being?

Researchers will compare the Ideomotor Program to a community group cognitive training program to determine whether the effects are superior. Participants will: undergo assessments at baseline, at the mid-intervention point, and upon program completion; participate in a 16-week group exercise program in a community gym two times per week; keep a diary to monitor the number of falls and any adverse events.

Interventions

OTHER

Ideomotor

The Ideomotor Program sessions will include the following: 1. Warm-up Light-intensity physical-cognitive exercises. 2. Work-out 1 Mind-Motor: Stimulates physical and cognitive abilities through functional exercises. 3. Work-out 2 3.1) Mind-Motor: stimulate physical and cognitive abilities through aerobic exercises (once a week) 3.2) Work-out 2 Motor only: high-velocity muscle power exercises (once a week). 4. Cool-down: light-intensity walking or dynamic stretching combined with breathing 5. Socialization: dedicated moment to encourage socialization. Participants' feedback will be received once a month.

OTHER

Control

The Group-based cognitive training will include the following: 1. Warm-up: cognitive exercises designed for training basic cognitive abilities in adults and older adults; 2. Work-out: cognitive exercises designed for training complex cognitive abilities in adults and older adults; 3. Cool-down: moment for discussion of the exercises and their possible solutions; 4. Socialization: dedicated moment to encourage socialization. Participants' feedback will be received once a month.
