The goal of this quasi-experimental clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of the "HAPPY GO GO" somatosensory game on physical and mental health in community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and above living in rural Chiayi County, Taiwan. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants in the intervention group will take part in structured game-based physical activity sessions over several weeks, designed to promote engagement, improve physical performance, and support psychological well-being.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| HAPPY GO GO Exergame | Experimental | Participants in the intervention group will engage in the "HAPPY GO GO" somatosensory exergame program. The intervention consists of structured game-based physical activity sessions, conducted once per week for a total duration of 12 weeks. Each session includes interactive, movement-based tasks designed to promote physical health, and mental well-being among community-dwelling older adults. |
|
| Usual Daily Activities | No Intervention | Participants in the control group will not receive the game-based intervention. They will continue with their usual daily activities without structured exercise sessions. Health outcomes will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention for comparison with the experimental group. |

| HAPPY GO GO Somatosensory Game | Behavioral | Participants in the intervention group will engage in the "HAPPY GO GO" somatosensory exergame program. The intervention consists of structured game-based physical activity sessions, conducted once per week for a total duration of 12 weeks. Each session includes interactive, movement-based tasks designed to promote physical health, and mental well-being among community-dwelling older adults. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Frailty Status | Frailty will be assessed using the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) Index, which consists of three items commonly used in Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare community frailty screening program. The SOF Index has a score range from 0 to 3, where a higher score indicates greater frailty (worse outcome). Score = 0: Robust Score = 1: Pre-frail Score = 2-3: Frail | Baseline and 12 weeks after intervention |
| Change in Lower Limb Flexibility | Flexibility of the lower limbs will be assessed using the chair sit-and-reach test. Higher scores (in centimeters) indicate better flexibility. | Baseline and 12 weeks after intervention |
| Change in Upper Limb Flexibility | Flexibility of the upper limbs will be assessed using the back scratch test. Higher scores (in centimeters) indicate better flexibility. | Baseline and 12 weeks after intervention. |
| Change in Agility and Dynamic Balance | Agility and dynamic balance will be assessed using the 2.44-meter timed up-and-go test. Shorter times indicate better performance. | Baseline and 12 weeks after intervention |
| Change in Muscle Strength | Muscle strength will be assessed using the 30-second chair stand test (lower limb strength) and the 30-second biceps curl test (upper limb strength, 8 lbs men / 5 lbs women). Higher repetitions indicate better strength. | Baseline and 12 weeks after intervention |
| Change in Cardiopulmonary Endurance | Cardiopulmonary endurance will be measured using the 2-minute step test. Higher step counts indicate better endurance. |

| Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) | BMI will be calculated from measured height and weight using a standardized anthropometric assessment. | Baseline and 12 weeks after intervention |
