About this study
Official title: Long-term Effects of Multicomponent and Stability Exercises on Physical Performance and Functional Capability in Aging Women: A Strategy for Fall Prevention
This retrospective study examined the effects of a 12-month training program on physical performance and functional ability in healthy older women. Participants completed structured sessions including aerobic, strength, balance, flexibility, and stability exercises. Standardized tests showed that the intervention improved functional independence and may help prevent falls.
Read the detailed description
This retrospective study evaluated the long-term effects of multicomponent and stability exercises on physical performance and functional capability in aging women. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a one-year multicomponent, stability-based exercise program on physical performance and functional capability in healthy, active older women. Participants underwent a structured exercise program combining aerobic, strength, balance, flexibility, and stability exercises over 12 months. Outcomes were measured using standardized physical performance tests and functional capability assessments. The results provide evidence that targeted multicomponent and stability exercise interventions can enhance functional independence and contribute to fall prevention in older women.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Multicomponent and Stability Exercise ProgramBehavioural
Training program was a 12-month structured multicomponent and stability exercise program, including aerobic, strength, balance, flexibility, and stability exercises (core stability exercise and Dynamic neuromuscular stability). Sessions were conducted two times per week and progressively adjusted according to participants' abilities to ensure safety and optimal improvements.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention group underwent a 12-month training protocol | Experimental | Intervention group (n=13) underwent a 12-month structured multicomponent and stability exercise Receives: Behavioral: Multicomponent and Stability Exercise Program |
| Control group continued their regular daily activities without participating in any organ | No intervention | Participants maintained their usual daily activities without any structured exercise program. No supervised interventions were provided. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from Baseline in the Single-Leg Stance test (SLS)
The Single-Leg Stance (SLS) test was used to evaluate static balance, and was performed as described by Poncumhak et al. (2023)
Measured: 12 month
Secondary outcomes (1)
Changes from Baseline in Functional Movement Capability
Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a reliable assessment tool for determining fundamental movement capability for individuals aged 50 years and older (Fawcett, 2014). The FMS consists of 7 specific movements (tests), including Deep Squat, Hurdle Step, In-Line Lunge, Shoulder Mobility, Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR), Trunk Stability Push-Up, and Rotary Stability. Testing procedures and scoring protocol are explained in detail by Cook et al. (2014). All final scores were summed to compute the overall composite score (Total FMS score).
Measured: 12 month

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?

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 18 Mar 2026.
