The aim of this study was to determine the effects of dancing activity based on different dance styles, in groups as well as with a partner, on mobility performance, quality of life and social engagement in a sample of older adults. One hundred and sixty-three older adults (mean age, 70 years; SD = 4 years) participated in a supervised dancing activity programme for 16 weeks. The dancing activity included different dance routines and was progressive in terms of motor complexity. Data on mobility, health-related quality of life and social engagement were collected before and after a 16-week training period. Significant improvements in mobility, quality of life and social engagement were noted in single as well as dual-task performance after the intervention. Our results emphasise the benefit of a 16-week dance training on multidimensional features, including physical and psychosocial domains, which are important for successful ageing.
本研究的目的是确定基于不同舞蹈风格的舞蹈活动,无论是集体还是与舞伴一起进行,对老年人样本的活动能力表现、生活质量和社交参与度的影响。163名老年人(平均年龄70岁;标准差=4岁)参加了一项为期16周的有监督的舞蹈活动计划。舞蹈活动包括不同的舞蹈套路,并且在动作复杂性方面是循序渐进的。在为期16周的训练期前后收集了关于活动能力、健康相关生活质量和社交参与度的数据。干预后,在单任务和双任务表现中,活动能力、生活质量和社交参与度均有显著改善。我们的结果强调了为期16周的舞蹈训练对多维度特征的益处,包括对成功老龄化很重要的身体和心理社会领域。
