Key inclusion criteria

Community-dwelling older adults aged 65 to 75 years (20 men and 20 women).
Individuals who are able to walk independently indoors and outdoors and are independent in activities of daily living (ADL).
Participants will be included regardless of whether they have experienced a fall within the past year.

Key exclusion criteria

1) Individuals with a current or previous history of central or peripheral nervous system disorders, such as stroke or Parkinson's disease.
2) Individuals with psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia or severe depression, that may interfere with participation in the study.
3) Individuals with cardiovascular diseases, including exertional angina, arrhythmia, or heart failure, or those who have been advised by a physician to restrict physical activity.
4) Individuals with respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), that limit walking ability.
5) Individuals with uncontrolled hypertension (resting systolic blood pressure over 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure over 110 mmHg).
6) Individuals with lower extremity musculoskeletal disorders, such as hip or knee osteoarthritis, or pain that makes treadmill walking difficult.
7) Individuals with a history of dizziness or syncope who are judged to be at risk for unsafe walking during the study.
8) Individuals with suspected cognitive impairment who are judged to have difficulty understanding the study procedures or following instructions.
