Immediate post-intervention mean differences for the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and 30-second sit-to-stand test (30STS) were pooled using inverse-variance random-effects models with restricted maximum likelihood estimation, Hartung\u2013Knapp inference, and prediction intervals. Prespecified exercise-prescription components were classified as meeting, unclear or unreported, or not meeting the ACSM criteria.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighteen trials contributed 21 intervention arms. Exercise improved TUG performance (MD = \u22121.57 s, 95% CI \u22122.52 to \u22120.63; I\u00b2 = 88.5%) and 30STS performance (MD\u00a0=\u00a03.88 repetitions, 95% CI 1.93 to 5.83; I\u00b2 = 87.6%). The estimated effect on BBS was highly uncertain (MD\u00a0=\u00a03.37 points, 95% CI \u22122.68 to 9.43; I\u00b2 = 83.6%). Formal tests found no evidence of a difference between the high and low\/uncertain reported-consistency groups for TUG (p = 0.733), BBS (p = 0.985), or 30STS (p = 0.262). Prediction intervals crossed the null for all three outcomes. Certainty of evidence was low for TUG and 30STS and very low for BBS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Exercise may improve functional mobility and repeated sit-to-stand performance, whereas the effect on BBS remains highly uncertain.
