<p>With the dramatic escalation of the global elderly population, there is a great need for effective non-pharmacological interventions that can enhance functional independence and mental health. This study aims to study the effectiveness of integrated physical exercise and cognitive training in geriatric people who live in and around Ujjain city in Madhya Pradesh. There is accumulating evidence that multimodal exercise programmes, involving aerobic and resistance training and structured cognitive stimulation, are effective at improving cognitive, functional and psychological outcomes in older people. The study uses a quasi-experimental research design with the subjects being the elderly (aged 60 years and older). Functional independence is measured with Barthel Index and mental well-being is measured with the standardized psychological assessment tools. The intervention involves cognitive and physical training programs that are delivered in a structured way over a specific time. Results suggest that combined interventions have more beneficial effects on mobility, memory, attention and emotional stability than single-modality interventions. The results of the study show that integrated interventions are very effective for promoting healthy ageing.</p>
