入选标准

  • (1) Age between 60 and 74 years at the commencement of the project.
  • (2) A score on the Chinese version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) ranging from 5 to 15, indicating a mild to high level of depressive symptoms.
  • (3) Successful completion of the PAR-Q+ screening or approval from a physician confirming readiness to engage in high-intensity exercise.
  • (4) Absence of serious chronic conditions, including but not limited to coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and osteoarthritis.

排除标准

  • (1) Non-community-dwelling status: Older adults residing in institutionalized settings (e.g., nursing homes, hospitals, or long-term care facilities), as the study focuses on independent community dwellers who can access elderly centers.
  • (2) Significant prior experience in relevant practices: Participants with substantial previous training or regular practice in karate, other martial arts, or formal mindfulness-based programs (e.g., MBSR), as this could confound the intervention effects.
  • (3) ⁠Inability to provide informed consent: Individuals unable to understand the study procedures, risks, and benefits, or those lacking legal capacity to consent (e.g., due to guardianship or severe cognitive/psychological conditions).
  • (4) Language or communication barriers: Inability to communicate effectively in Cantonese or read/write Chinese, as the study assessments (e.g., questionnaires) and intervention are conducted in these languages.
  • (5) Cognitive impairment as evidenced by a score below 24 on the Chinese version of the Mini-Mental Status Examination.
