研究组 & 干预措施
Control group
Participants were not enrolled in organized exercise programs during the study (12 weeks).
Traditional exercise program
Participants enrolled in a traditional organized exercise program (group sessions) based on two weekly sessions of 45 to 60 minutes each for 12 weeks. These sessions are supervised by sports and exercise professionals, targeting physical fitness components (cardiorespiratory capacity, strength, balance, agility, and flexibility) and cognitive function (reaction time and decision-making).
干预措施: Traditional exercise program (Other)
Augmented reality exercise program
Participants enrolled in an organized exercise program based on two weekly sessions of 45 to 60 minutes each for 12 weeks: one traditional session (group session) and one augmented reality (AR) session (individual session), both supervised by sports and exercise professionals. The AR session was designed to provide a full exercise session targeting physical fitness components (cardiorespiratory capacity, strength, balance, agility, and flexibility) and cognitive function (reaction time, decision-making, and memory).

结局指标
主要结局
Physical fitness
时间窗: Testing sessions will occur at baseline, at week 6, at week 13 and at week 18.
Physical fitness will be assessed using the fitness test battery proposed by Rikli \& Jones (1999), including: 30-s chair stand test to assess lower-body strength, arm curl test to evaluate upper-body strength, back scratch test to examine upper-body flexibility, chair seat and reach test to assess lower-body flexibility, 8-foot up-and-go test to assess agility and dynamic balance, and the 6-min walk test to evaluate aerobic endurance.
Physical activity
时间窗: Participants enrolled in exercise programs will be monitored using accelerometry. Individual data will be collected in all exercise sessions (total of 48 sessions).
Physical activity levels will be measured using accelerometry during each exercise session.
Body composition
时间窗: Testing sessions will occur at baseline, at week 6, at week 13 and at week 18.
Body composition will be evaluated using the InBody 770, which allows a hand-to-foot biolectrical analysis. Bodyweight, body fat percentage, and fat-free mass will be used for analysis.
Cognitive function
时间窗: The assessment will be conducted at baseline, at week 6, at week 13 and at week 18.
Participants' cognitive function will be examined through the Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument and the Mini Mental State Examination.
次要结局
- SF-36 questionnaire(The assessment will be conducted at baseline and at week 13 after the intervention end.)
