Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: This is a randomized controlled trial with a parallel assignment model. Participants are randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. The experimental group undergoes lower limb leg press power training combined with visual feedback games twice a week for 12 weeks, while the control group maintains their usual daily activities. The outcomes are assessed before and after the 12-week intervention, focusing on physical performance, cognitive function, and heart rate variability (HRV).
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: This study investigates the effects of lower limb leg press power training combined with visual feedback games on the physical performance, cognitive function, and heart rate variability (HRV) of older adults aged 65 and above. Participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with the experimental group engaging in leg press exercises combined with visual games twice a week for 12 weeks.

Detailed description: This study aims to investigate the effects of lower limb leg press power training combined with visual feedback games on the physical and cognitive health of the elderly. With the aging population increasing, the decline in muscle strength and cognitive function has become a significant challenge for older adults. To address these health issues, this study plans to recruit 40 participants aged 65 and above and randomly assign long-term care centers into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group will perform leg press training combined with visual feedback games twice a week for 12 weeks, while the control group will continue their usual daily activities.
