Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. recording of subjective effects on physical, cognitive and psychosocial aspects through the motor-cognitive exercise program as well as satisfaction with the exercise program. 2. initiation, promotion and maintenance of an active lifestyle in the living environments of older persons in the sense of behavioral and situational prevention: - strengthening of health resources (maintaining physical function and everyday activity) and reducing risk factors - improving walking ability (contributing to an independent lifestyle), reducing the risk of falls (falls in old age are often associated with longer hospital stays and morbidity) - improvement of quality of life and mental health - promotion of social contacts and communication, thus a contribution is made against social loneliness - participation in public life - contribution to a self-determined and independent lifestyle.	—
