简要总结
Chronic obesity accelerates age-related deterioration in physical and psychological health among the elderly population (aged 60–75 years) (Neri et al., 2020). This three‐arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare the efficacy of Exercise Snacks (ES) against Traditional Structured Exercise (TSE) and a Usual Activities Control (UC) group. The primary objective is to determine whether ES yields non-inferior or superior improvements in physical function and psychological well-being relative to TSE and UC.

研究组 & 干预措施
Exercise Snacks Group
Participants will perform 3–4 bouts of 8‐minute exercise sessions per day, 5 days per week. Each bout will include bodyweight exercises (e.g., chair stands, step-ups, wall push-ups) performed at moderate-to-high intensity (Borg Scale 5–7). Sessions will be home‐based with real‐time adherence monitoring via WhatsApp reminders.

Traditional Structured Exercise Group
Participants will attend one 70-minute supervised session, 3 days per week, in the laboratory. Sessions will include warm-up, aerobic exercise, resistance training, and cool-down.
