“…The author further states that dance is a physical activity with lower potential of risk for older practitioners when compared to other forms of physical activity, as it is important in promoting health and successful aging.

Introduction: Aging is inevitable and irreversible, but with the advancement of technology, life expectancy is increasing every year, bringing with it proposals for various interventions to improve the quality of life. One such intervention is physical exercise programs. Objective: Evaluated the functional fitness of senior female practitioners of ballroom and circular dancing. Methods: Senior women were recruited and distributed into three groups: ballroom dancing (BD, n=15); circular dancing (CD, n=16); control (C, n=10). Those in the dancing groups performed 60-minute dancing sessions three times a week over a 24-week period. Participants underwent anthropometric parameters and functional fitness tests (chair stand, arm curl, sit and reach, back scratch, agility, 6-minute walk) were performed. Results: No differences (p> 0.05) were found on anthropometric and body composition parameters between groups. However, the values of chair stand and 6minute walk tests by BD (13 ± 2 repetitions, 432 ± 103 meters) and CD (13 ± 4 repetitions, 384 ± 88 meters) respectively was higher (p< 0.01) than C (10 ± 3 repetitions, 300 ± 77 meters). No differences between groups (p> 0.05) were found on arm curl (C

Background The epidemic of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) pneumonia has become a focused public health event in world. The authorities have taken prompt medical action in China, which contained strict isolation measures and potential symptomatic supportive care. Dao Yin, a traditional Chinese exercise, combines limb movements and breathing exercises. Previous researches showed that it can activate the immune system and improve the lung function and the mental state of patients. Therefore, there may be a potential effect of Dao Yin on the physical and mental health of patients with 2019-nCoV. The aim of this trail is to verify whether conventional therapy plus Dao Yin could show better effects for 2019-nCoV than conventional therapy alone.
