Exercise adherence will be defined as the percentage of prescribed sessions completed during the 12-week intervention, based on three 30-minute sessions per week (36 sessions in total). The Garmin Vivosmart 5 will record exercise frequency, duration, and intensity. A session will be considered completed when the participant exercises for at least 30 minutes and reaches Garmin heart rate zone 2 or higher. Adherence will be calculated by summing completed sessions, with a maximum of three sessions counted per week, dividing by 36, and multiplying by 100. Scores range from 0% to 100%, with higher percentages indicating greater adherence. Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) will complement intensity assessment, particularly for older participants or those with heart rate or blood pressure concerns. An RPE of ≥12 indicates moderate intensity, while ≥11 may be encouraged initially, followed by gradual progression as tolerated.

The Chinese version of the Sport Motivation Scale-II (CSMS-II) will be used to assess six types of motivation: intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, external regulation, and amotivation. The scale consists of 18 items rated on a 7-point Likert scale from 1 to 7. The subscales include intrinsic motivation (items 3, 9, and 17), integrated regulation (items 4, 11, and 14), identified regulation (items 6, 12, and 18), introjected regulation (items 1, 7, and 16), external regulation (items 5, 8, and 15), and amotivation (items 2, 10, and 13). Each subscale is scored separately by calculating the mean of its three items. Each subscale score ranges from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating a stronger level of the corresponding motivational regulation.

The Godin-Shephard Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (GLTPA) will measure weekly physical activity intensity, classified into light, moderate, and vigorous levels. The Chinese version of the GLTPA has shown good validity and is significantly correlated with mental health outcomes. By classifying physical activity intensity lasting for more than 15 minutes in the past week into strenuous activities, moderate strenuous activities, and light activities, and then multiplying by corresponding coefficients 9, 5, and 3 respectively for quantification, the sum of these scores is Godin's leisure time physical Total activity score, with higher scores indicating greater physical activity. The level of physical activity can be divided into three levels according to the total Godin leisure time physical activity score. A total score of 24 or above is considered active, a score between 14 and 23 is moderately active, and a score below 14 is consider Insufficiently active.

The World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-brief (WHOQOL-BREF), validated in Chinese, with good internal consistency (α = 0.70-0.77), overall reliability (α = 0.91), and test-retest reliability (0.76-0.80), will assess the quality of life across four domains: physical, psychological, social, and environmental well-being. This scale covers subjective life feelings in four major categories: physical health, psychological, social relations, and environment. It has 24 questions in total. There are also 2 questions measuring the overall quality of life and general health at the general level. (general health), in addition, the Taiwan version adds 2 local questions, namely diet (whether you can eat the food you want) and face issues (whether you are respected), a total of 28 questions, and the scores for each category are introduced. Between 4 and 20, the higher the score, the better the quality of life.

Garmin Vivosmart 5. This wearable device will track heart rate, exercise intensity, and sleep patterns. HR will be track every second. Advanced sleep tracking in compatible Garmin devices takes into account multiple factors to help understanding of sleep. In addition to the basics, such as when participants fell asleep and when they woke up, researchers can see times when they were awake and how much time they spent in key sleep stages (light, deep, REM), and the data will be calculated by heart rate to increase its validity.

Cognitive function will be assessed pre-enrollment using the MMSE, with validated age- and education-adjusted thresholds. The MMSE has demonstrated good reliability and validity and is a strong predictor of disability levels in patients with traumatic brain injury. Participants with an MMSE score below 24 will be excluded from the study to ensure appropriate cognitive capacity for participation. The score range is 0-30 points, with the international standard cut-off value of 24 points, 18-24 points as mild dementia, 16-17 points as moderate dementia, and ≦15 points as severe dementia.

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a sensitive tool for the early screening of mild cognitive impairment, particularly useful for detecting deficits in executive function, attention, short-term memory, language fluency, abstract thinking, and visuospatial abilities. The total score of the scale is 30 points, with a score of less than 26 considered indicative of possible mild cognitive impairment. The score can be adjusted (+1 point) based on educational level. The Chinese version of MoCA has been proven to have good reliability and validity (Cronbach's α = 0.83) and is particularly suitable for research populations in Asian regions.

In this study, the Biolight MediTECH® near-infrared brain blood flow imaging sensor (hemoencephalography; HEG) was used to measure blood flow in the prefrontal cortex. The Biolight near-infrared spectroscopy device is an HEG sensor designed by MediTECH®, based on NIR technology to observe the optical properties of cells and tissues at the reflection level. This enables monitoring of changes in oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin concentrations. By measuring light absorption at different wavelengths, the system can continuously track changes during tissue oxidation processes, thereby measuring cerebral blood flow conditions. The percentage of the NIR brain blood flow ranged 0- 100%, the higher percentage means the higher prefrontal brain blood flow.

This study will adopt semi-structured interviews to gain an in-depth understanding of participants' experiences and perceptions of the walking program, as well as to complement and interpret quantitative data. It is a qualitative data, not a quantitative data. The interview content covers three major questions: (1) Benefits of the walking program; (2) Experiences and challenges of the walking program; (3) The impact of the walking program on quality of life, sleep quality, concussion symptoms, psychological resilience, depression, exercise motivation, exercise self-efficacy, and physical activity.

The total score of the scale is 30 points, with a score of less than 26 considered indicative of possible mild cognitive impairment. The score can be adjusted (+1 point) based on educational level.

In this study, the Biolight MediTECH® near-infrared brain blood flow imaging sensor (hemoencephalography; HEG) was used to measure blood flow in the prefrontal cortex. The Biolight near-infrared spectroscopy device is an HEG sensor designed by MediTECH®, based on NIR technology to observe the optical properties of cells and tissues at the reflection level. This enables monitoring of changes in oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin concentrations. By measuring light absorption at different wavelengths, the system can continuously track changes during tissue oxidation processes, thereby measuring cerebral blood flow conditions. The percentage of the NIR brain blood flow ranged 0- 100%, the higher percentage means the higher prefrontal brain blood flow.

This study will adopt semi-structured interviews to gain an in-depth understanding of participants' experiences and perceptions of the walking program, as well as to complement and interpret quantitative data. It is a qualitative data, not a quantitative data. The interview content covers three major questions: (1) Benefits of the walking program; (2) Experiences and challenges of the walking program; (3) The impact of the walking program on quality of life, sleep quality, concussion symptoms, psychological resilience, depression, exercise motivation, exercise self-efficacy, and physical activity.

Participants will wear a Garmin Vivosmart 5 device during the intervention period. The device will be used to collect heart rate, physical activity, exercise intensity, and sleep-related data. Data will be synchronized with the Garmin Connect application for monitoring and data collection. Heart rate data will be recorded continuously during device use. Sleep-related variables estimated by the device include total sleep time, awake time, light sleep duration, deep sleep duration, and rapid eye movement sleep duration. Each variable will be reported separately in its corresponding outcome measure.
