Registry summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the Ideomotor Program in healthy older adults living in the community. The main research questions are:

1) Is the Ideomotor Program effective in improving cognitive function? 2) Is the Ideomotor Program effective in improving motor function? 3) Is the Ideomotor Program effective in improving overall well-being?

Researchers will compare the Ideomotor Program to a community group cognitive training program to determine whether the effects are superior. Participants will: undergo assessments at baseline, at the mid-intervention point, and upon program completion; participate in a 16-week group exercise program in a community gym two times per week; keep a diary to monitor the number of falls and any adverse events.
