Action observation videos
The participant will see videos of balance exercises performed by the assigned reference, depending on their group, without performing any physical movement.
Therapeutic exercise
The therapeutic exercise program aimed at improving balance and preventing falls will be carried out three times per week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), with each session lasting 30-45 minutes. Each session will be structured into three blocks: a warm-up of 5-10 minutes, a main block focused on balance and strength lasting 20-25 minutes, and a cool-down of 5-10 minutes.
