The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug ABC works to evaluate the effectiveness of an mHealth application to promote home-based exercise in adults aged 65 and older. The objectives are:
Primary objective:
• To evaluate the effect of the mHealth application on increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels.
Secondary objectives:
* To assess the impact of the mHealth application on physical fitness measures (e.g., functional capacity, strength, balance, fall risk, flexibility) * To assess the impact of the mHealth application on physical activity (e.g., daily steps, self-reported physical activity) * To examine the impact of the mHealth application on wellbeing * To explore the impact of the mHealth application on cognitive functioning * To measure user adherence and engagement with the mHealth application * To evaluate participant satisfaction with the mHealth application
Researchers will compare a group using an mHealth application to a group not using the application to determine whether it effectively increases physical activity.
Participants will:
* Use the mHealth application or not for 8 weeks * Visit the labo 3 times in total for assessements * Use a wearable during the study period
