Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Does VRE lead to better improvements in gaze stabilization, balance, and gait than GFT? Does GFT lead to more improvements in overall fitness than VRE? Participants will be randomly assigned to either the VRE or GFT group and will participate in 60-minute exercise sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks. Researchers will compare the improvements in the two groups to see which intervention is more effective.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises (VRE)
The VRE arm will be engaged in vestibular exercises including gaze stabilization, balance, and gait training.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises
The VRE group will receive exercises aimed at improving gaze stability, postural control, and balance. This includes activities like gaze stabilization exercises, balance training on different surfaces, and walking with head movements.
General Fitness Training (GFT)
The GFT arm will participate in general fitness exercises including cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility training.
General Fitness Training
The GFT group will undertake exercises to enhance cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility, such as light aerobic exercises, resistance training, and stretching. The exercise sessions will be 60 minutes in duration, consisting of a warm-up phase, the main exercise phase, and a cool-down phase.
