Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In the study, participants in the exercise training groups received square stepping exercises three days a week for six weeks, while those in the control group did not undergo any training. Both groups were assessed before and six weeks after the training period.
The investigators used several assessment tools including Hodkinson's Mental Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Stroop Test, Trail Making Test, and the Turkish World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale.

Exercise Group
The group received square stepping exercise training three times a week for six weeks.
Square Stepping Exercise
The exercise is performed on a thin exercise mat divided into 40 small squares. Participants are shown specific step patterns on this mat and are instructed to repeat the same step pattern until the end of the exercise mat. Once a pattern is completed on the exercise mat, its mirror-image pattern is also performed. The basic pattern is repeated 3-5 times, followed by the same number of repetitions for the mirror-image pattern. However, if participants struggle with the pattern, it is repeated until they learn it. Individuals execute the demonstrated pattern on the exercise mat and return to the beginning of the mat after completing it.
