The task oriented exercise program consists of 45 to 60 minutes of group exercise sessions with the following components:

Warm Up: Walking which is progressively increased from 6 to 15 minutes. Dual task activity is introduced as tolerated by the participants. Participants are able to utilize assistive devices and there were additional supports provided.

Stretching, Strengthening and Balance Activities: Gradual progression of activities and repetitions for 30 minutes that are tailored by the exercise instructor to each participant. Exercises are led by the trainer and performed at the balance bar, in a chair, or in standing. Task oriented activities included items such as: weight shifting, forward/backward/side stepping, squats, forward/backward/side leg raises, toe raises, seated trunk rotations, sit to stand, forward trunk bending, arm rotations, and marching.

Walk/Obstacle Course: The final 6 to 15 minutes included "challenged walking" through an obstacle course.

The exercise program is led by an individual who has a background in exercise physiology and is trained by the Physical Therapist. The task oriented exercise program consists of 45 to 60 minutes of group exercise sessions with the following components: warm-up period (dual task activity and walking progressively), stretching/strengthening/balance (gradual progression of activities and repetitions for 30 minutes), and obstacle course (6 to 15 minutes of obstacle course and challenged walking).

A submaximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Assesses balance confidence in ambulatory adults and can be used as a predictor for future falls in community dwelling older adults.
