Study Title
Effect of Multicomponent Training and Stability Exercises on Body Composition, Physical Fitness, and Functional Movement Capability in Active Older Women: A Non-Randomized Study
This study will investigate the effects of a 14-week multicomponent training program combined with stability exercises on body composition, physical fitness, and functional movement capability in active older women. Participants will be assigned to either an intervention group undergoing the exercise protocol or a control group maintaining their usual activities. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted to evaluate the outcomes.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Multicomponent training and stability exerciseOther
The training program will span 14 weeks. Participants will engage in structured sessions twice a week (on Tuesdays and Thursdays), with each session lasting 60 minutes. The sessions will consist of aerobic, balance, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) and stability exercises, strength exercises (using body weight and the Swedish bar), and flexibility exercises.
Each training session will begin with a warm-up phase, including five minutes of dynamic stretching to prepare the body for the physical demands of the session. Following the warm-up, participants will perform 15 minutes of low-impact aerobic exercises, such as marching, knee lifts, leg curls, lunges, and kicks, incorporating coordinated arm movements.
Next, participants will complete 15 minutes of balance, DNS, and stability exercises. This will be followed by 20 minutes of strength training exercises. Each session will conclude with a 5-minute cooldown and flexibility segment to promote

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from Baseline in the the 30-second Chair Stand test (30-s CST)
The 30-second Chair Stand test (30-s CST) will be used to evaluate lower body strength, with test procedures and reliability based on Rikli and Jones (2013).
Measured: 14 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change from Baseline in Functional Movement Capability
The test will be conducted using a standardized Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to assess functional movement capability
Measured: 14 weeks
Change from Baseline in Body Composition
The body composition were assessed using bioelectrical impendence
Measured: 14 weeks

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change from Baseline in the the 30-second Chair Stand test (30-s CST) (time frame: 14 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Feb 2026.
