Exercise, particularly combined physical-cognitive exercise, has been demonstrated to have beneficial effects on both physical and cognitive health. However, middle-aged women often face barriers to engaging in exercise, which include time constraints, lack of motivation, and enjoyment.

Feasibility outcomes (adherence, adverse events, physical performances, obesity paramete...
