Power training to improve mobility in older veterans
This study tests a special exercise program that focuses on 'power' — moving quickly and strongly — to help older veterans walk better and stay mobile. If you join, you'll do supervised exercises in a group setting, and the researchers will see if it helps you move more easily in your daily life.
