Background: Physical activity (PA) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life (QoL) older people, particularly by enhancing their balance and movement coordination. Objective: This study aimed to assess effects sensorimotor training intervention adults. Methods: A total 90 participants, divided into Control Group (n = 44) Experimental 46) were involved 24-week program. The physical capacities participants assessed both before after Strength flexibility measured using “Rikli Jones” protocol (1999), while agility speed through “Timed-up-and-go” tests. Taking account participants’ gender, descriptive analysis sample was conducted describe data mean standard deviation. Student’s T test performed compare differences between groups according first second collection moments (before intervention). Jamovi software (v. 2.5.2.0) used develop statistical analysis, p-value less than 0.05 significance. Results: showed significant improvements across all analyzed variables following (p < 0.005), indicating substantial gains capacities. In contrast, “sitting reaching” did not show difference highlighting lack improvement without intervention. According effect size sample, it observed that parameters “reach behind your back (right)” (left)” highest comparing (ES: 0.60, 0.71). Conclusions: findings highlight practical clinical impact implementing tailored programs for Such interventions are critical QoL, reducing risk falls, injuries, chronic illnesses, promoting overall health, independence, well-being. Integrating routine care people can support healthy aging functional independence.
