Experimental Treatment

Group I: Group exercise with beat-accented synchronous music stimulationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants will be asked to participate in a music-based group exercise program for 24 weeks (up to 6 days/week, 30 - 45 min/day), which is designed for older adults with functional limitations to safely exercise on a chair or in a supported standing posture for the improvement of aerobic capacity, upper and lower body strength, and balance control at a gradually increasing pace based on the tempo of the beat-accented synchronous music playlists.
