Detailed description

Study Title Effect of Multicomponent Training and Stability Exercises on Body Composition, Physical Fitness, and Functional Movement Capability in Active Older Women: A Non-Randomized Study This study will investigate the effects of a 14-week multicomponent training program combined with stability exercises on body composition, physical fitness, and functional movement capability in active older women. Participants will be assigned to either an intervention group undergoing the exercise protocol or a control group maintaining their usual activities. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted to evaluate the outcomes. Study Type Design: Interventional (Non-Randomized), Controlled Trial Allocation: Non-randomized Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: None (Open Label) Primary Purpose: Prevention Time Perspective: Prospective Duration: 14 weeks

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Multicomponent training and stability exercise	The training program will span 14 weeks. Participants will engage in structured sessions twice a week (on Tuesdays and Thursdays), with each session lasting 60 minutes. The sessions will consist of aerobic, balance, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) and stability exercises, strength exercises (using body weight and the Swedish bar), and flexibility exercises. Each training session will begin with a warm-up phase, including five minutes of dynamic stretching to prepare the body for the physical demands of the session. Following the warm-up, participants will perform 15 minutes of low-impact aerobic exercises, such as marching, knee lifts, leg curls, lunges, and kicks, incorporating coordinated arm movements. Next, participants will complete 15 minutes of balance, DNS, and stability exercises. This will be followed by 20 minutes of strength training exercises. Each session will conclude with a 5-minute cooldown and flexibility segment to promote
