Conclusions
The results of this study showed that community-based group exercises have positive effects in older adults whose potential health risks are increased due to social isolation and reduced participation in physical activity during the pandemic period. The combined effect of the exercises with the added Action Observation Therapy showed that it was a more effective program than the exercises alone. It would be beneficial to add a simple, practical and economical method such as action observation, which strengthens motor learning to any exercise program aimed at improving health in the older adult population.
