Participants completed a supervised 35-minute multicomponent exercise program twice weekly for 8 weeks. The program included light-paced walking, mobility exercises, multidirectional stepping, balance tasks, coordination exercises, low-resistance strengthening exercises, and functional movement combinations. This component was performed by both the experimental and active control groups.

The experimental group completed a 10-minute Light Trainer-assisted visual stimulus-based cognitive-motor agility exercise component during the final part of each supervised session. Tasks required participants to perceive randomized visual stimuli, select an appropriate motor response, and respond as quickly and accurately as possible using hand or foot movements. Each session included 13 repetitions of 30-second task intervals separated by 15-second rest periods. Task difficulty progressed across 8 weeks by increasing the number of modules from two to six and increasing task complexity.

The active control group completed a 10-minute time-matched low-intensity activity period during the final part of each supervised session. These activities included stretching, mobility, balance, or recovery exercises and did not include visual stimulus-based response tasks, rapid decision-making, reactive agility tasks, or Light Trainer-assisted exercises.
