Sponsor's own description
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured, multicomponent recreational exercise program (FEXO: Fun Exercise for Older Adults) in improving intrinsic capacity, motivation, and adherence among community-dwelling older adults. Participants aged 60 years and older will be randomly allocated to either the FEXO group or a control group performing the established OTAGO program. The intervention will last 14 weeks, with three weekly sessions. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and after a 3-month follow-up.
