The number of samples was obtained using G-power software for each of the three groups of 45 people (locomotor exercises combined with aerobic exercises (15 people), locomotor exercises (15 people), and control (15 people)). The groups will be selected by simple random selection, Blinding description: Participants are unaware of the division into control and experimental groups. 3 Locomotive syndrome. Intervention 1: Intervention Group 1: Locomotor Exercises Combined with Aerobic ExercisesThe locomotor exercises include four types of movements:1. Single-leg stance: This exercise is performed for one minute. If the elderly participants feel unsteady, they can hold onto a chair for support.2. Squats: Performed by bending the knees to a 90-degree angle while holding onto a chair for support. This exercise is done in three sets of six repetitions.3.

This exercise is performed in three sets of five repetitions.Aerobic exercises for the elderly include activities with low to moderate intensity (40–70% of maximum heart rate) to improve cardiorespiratory endurance, strengthen muscles, and maintain joint flexibility. This section includes:5 minutes of warm-up20 minutes of brisk walking5 minutes of recoveryThese exercises will be conducted for 8 weeks, three sessions per week, with 15 participants.
