- Conditions
- Healthy Older Adults
- Being tested

Participants in the CEG performed music-accompanied bodyweight exercises, with each session lasting approximately 20 minutes.
Snack exerciseOther
Participants in the ESG performed music-accompanied exercise sessions under physiotherapist supervision twice weekly for 6 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

| Snack | Experimental | Not described Receives: Other: Snack exercise |
| Control | No intervention | Not described |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: 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
Measured: 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.
Measured: 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.
Measured: Preintervention, postintervention 6th week
Secondary outcomes (6)
Pain Assessment
Pain perceived during rest, walking, and stair ascent/descent was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The distance (mm) between the "no pain" anchor and the participant's mark on a 10-cm line was measured, yielding a score ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Measured: Preintervention, postintervention 6th week
Pain Disability Index (PDI)
The PDI consists of seven items evaluating the impact of pain on daily functional activities. Participants rate each item on a scale from 0 to 10. Total scores range from 0 to 70, with scores ≥40 indicating high disability. Higher scores reflect greater disability severity.
Measured: Preintervention, postintervention 6th week
Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES)
The MFES is based on a visual analog scale assessing confidence in performing daily activities without falling. Participants rate their confidence for each activity on a scale ranging from 0 (no confidence) to 10 (complete confidence). The total score is divided by 14 to obtain the final score. Higher scores indicate lower fall risk, whereas lower scores indicate greater fall risk.
Measured: Preintervention, postintervention 6th week
Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile for Older Adults (HPLP-OA)
The HPLP-OA was developed to evaluate health-promoting behaviors in adults aged 65 years and older. The scale consists of 22 items scored on a 4-point Likert scale. Total scores range from 22 to 88, with higher scores indicating greater frequency of health-promoting behaviors.
Measured: Preintervention, postintervention 6th week
International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)
The IPAQ assesses time spent in physical activities during the previous week, including sitting, walking, moderate-intensity activity, and vigorous-intensity activity. Scores are calculated as MET-minutes/week by multiplying duration, frequency, and metabolic equivalent (MET) values.
Measured: Preintervention, postintervention 6th week
World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD TR)
The WHOQOL-OLD module consists of 24 items across six domains, rated using a 5-point Likert scale. Subscale scores range from 4 to 20, and a total score can also be calculated by summing domain scores. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
Measured: Preintervention, postintervention 6th week
