Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. To compare the difference of effects between supervised group-based walking and non-supervised individual-based walking on the primary outcomes, including frailty, cognitive functions, and health-related quality of life among inactive older adults in Saudi Arabia.
2. To compare the difference of effects between supervised group-based walking and non-supervised individual-based walking on the secondary outcomes, including physical activity enjoyment, health parameters consisting of resting heart rate, resting blood pressure, and body composition, as well as walking performance among inactive older adults in Saudi Arabia.
3. To formulate guidelines for achieving an effective walking intervention for inactive older adults in Saudi Arabia.
4. To recommend the government of Saudi Arabia on guidelines and policies for promoting walking and active ageing among the older adults in the country.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
group-based walking intervention with professional trainer's supervision
Participants will conduct the intervention in groups under the supervision of a professional fitness trainer.
supervised group-based walking and non-supervised individual-based walking interventions
Group exercise interventions tended to be systematic and supervised by professionals. The current intervention is proposing to conduct a randomized control trial that is not only examining the nature of walking on older adults' well-being but also involving the elements of group-based and professional supervision intervention, aiming at comparing with the individual-based intervention without professional supervision. Qualified professional fitness trainers (1 male and 1 female separately for male and female groups, respectively) will be involved in the group-based intervention programs in order to provide appropriate guidance and supervision to the participants. Whereas, the non-supervised individual-based intervention will be conducted by a research assistant (males and females) to ensure the attendance and general safety, but without providing professional advice or supervision.
individual-based walking intervention without professional trainer supervision
Participants will conduct the intervention individually, without the supervision of a professional fitness trainer
