• Control Group

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Augmented reality exercise program	Participants enrolled in an organized exercise program based on two weekly sessions of 45 to 60 minutes each for 12 weeks: one traditional session (group session) and one augmented reality (AR) session (individual session), both supervised by sports and exercise professionals. The AR session was designed to provide an entire exercise session targeting physical fitness components (cardiorespiratory capacity, strength, balance, agility, and flexibility) and cognitive function (reaction time, decision-making, and memory).
OTHER	Traditional exercise program	Participants enrolled in a traditional organized exercise program (group sessions) based on two weekly sessions of 45 to 60 minutes each for 12 weeks. These sessions are supervised by sports and exercise professionals, targeting physical fitness components (cardiorespiratory capacity, strength, balance, agility, and flexibility) and cognitive function (reaction time and decision-making).
