Summary

The goal of this quasi-experimental clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of the "HAPPY GO GO" somatosensory game on physical and mental health in community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and above living in rural Chiayi County, Taiwan. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does participation in the somatosensory game improve physical health outcomes (e.g., balance, mobility, functional fitness)? * Does participation improve mental health outcomes (e.g., mood, depressive symptoms)? Researchers will compare an intervention group, which participates in the game-based exercise program, with a control group that does not receive the intervention, to evaluate changes in health status. Participants in the intervention group will take part in structured game-based physical activity sessions over several weeks, designed to promote engagement, improve physical performance, and support psychological well-being.
