Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Physical Activity (PA) Intervention
Physical Activity Intervention
Participants in this arm will complete exercise sessions 1 time per week for 24 weeks. An optional, second PA session will also be offered to PA participants. The exercise sessions will be multimodal and involve walking, lower extremity strengthening exercises, flexibility and balance training.
Health Education (HE) Intervention
Healthy Aging Intervention
Participants will attend health education workshops on topics of relevance to older adults. Workshops will be offered weekly in a group setting, and participants will be required to attend biweekly.
