Tai Chi
Participants will receive a classical 24-form Yang-style Tai Chi program. Sessions will be approximately 60 minutes, three times per week for 12 weeks. Each session will include a 5-10-minute warm-up, 40 minutes of Tai Chi practice, and a 5-10-minute cool-down/relaxation period. The program will emphasize controlled movements, weight shifting, postural alignment, balance, coordination, relaxation, and natural breathing.
Dual Task Balance Training
Participants will receive Dual Task Balance Training consisting of supervised 60-minute sessions, three times per week for 12 weeks. Each session will include a 10-minute warm-up, 40 minutes of progressive balance training combined with cognitive or motor dual tasks, and a 10-minute relaxation period. Exercises will target proprioception, strengthening, postural sway, and reaction time, with progressive increases in difficulty according to participants' abilities.
