Brief Summary

This study aimed to compare the effects of music-accompanied exercise snacks and calisthenic exercises on pain, locomotor performance, quality of life, and physical activity-related outcomes in healthy older adults.

Conditions

Healthy Older Adults

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)

  The test measures the time required to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters at a safe and comfortable speed, turn around, walk back, and sit down again. Shorter completion times indicate better balance and mobility performance.

  Preintervention, postintervention 6th week

• 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test

  The 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test was used to assess lower extremity strength and endurance as indicators of functional performance in older adults. The number of complete sit-to-stand repetitions performed within 30 seconds was recorded as the test score

  Preintervention, postintervention 6th week

• Stair Climb Test

  Participants were instructed to ascend and descend a staircase consisting of nine steps (16-20 cm in height) as quickly and safely as possible. Total completion time was recorded as the outcome measure.

  Preintervention, postintervention 6th week

• Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES)

  The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) is an 8-item unidimensional instrument assessing positive feelings such as enjoyment and pleasure associated with physical activity. Responses are rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 7 ("strongly agree"). Higher mean scores indicate greater enjoyment of physical activity.
