To compare functional fitness, body composition, and psychosocial outcomes over a 12-week period between older adults participating in a structured interval walking training program (WalkPacer Pro application, 1-minute and 3-minute alternating fast and slow walking cycles) and a non-randomized control group receiving no walking intervention.

| Behavior,custom |
Structured interval walking training using the WalkPacer Pro mobile application (1-minute or 3-minute alternating fast and slow walking cycles), self-administered over a 12-week period, with no prescribed minimum or maximum weekly training duration.
No walking intervention was provided. Participants continued their usual daily activities without any structured exercise program during the 12-week study period.
