Brief summary: This study aimed to utilize an interactive exergame mat system to develop a novel cognitive-physical training program and explore the training effects on physical performance, cognitive function, dual-task walking (DTW), and fall risk compared to the control condition.

Detailed description: The exercise group performed exergames with simultaneous cognitive-physical training, while the control group underwent a multicomponent exercise intervention focused on physical and cognitive training. A 2-hour training session was completed weekly for 3 months.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* aged 65 years or older, and being able to walk independently without any assistive devices

Exclusion Criteria:

* had severe lower-extremity joint pain, cognitive impairment, or visual problems that impeded their participation
