“…Older adult studies used various dance styles, including salsa [26], Caribbean traditional [27], Turkish folkloristic [28], aerobic [29], ballroom [30], square [31], contemporary [32], creative [33], and video game-based [34] dance, as well as modified dance for seniors [35]. Interventions in older adults were between 8 weeks and eighteen months, 30 minutes to 75 minutes per session, and one to seven days per week.…”

“…For older adult dance interventions, Tai Chi [31, 32], fall prevention training [32], no intervention [26, 28-31, 33-35], social and recreational activities [27], swimming [31], running [31], and brisk walking [34]control groups were used. Establishing the merits of a particular style of dance relative to other forms of exercise has been challenging due to varied intervention parameters and control group comparisons.…”

“…Knowledge of whether benefits persist after training is important since community classes may not be continuously available. In addition, three articles in PD [18-20] and two in older adults [31, 33] included intermediate testing sessions during the intervention. These provide valuable information on the rate of acquisition of benefits and could inform future studies that have the goal of optimizing intervention parameters.…”

“…Improvements in QoL (FLZ Life Satisfaction Questionnaire) also occurred with Agilando dance, but not controls [35]. Life satisfaction (Satisfaction with Life Scale) improved following 12 or 24 weeks of creative dance, but not in controls without intervention[33]. Despite inconclusive results in PD, evidence suggests QoL improves in older adults after various dance interventions.…”

Impacts of dance on non-motor symptoms, participation, and quality of life in Parkinson disease and healthy older adults

Evidence indicates exercise is beneficial for motor and non-motor function in older adults and people with chronic diseases including Parkinson disease (PD). Dance may be a relevant form of exercise in PD and older adults due to social factors and accessibility. People with PD experience motor and non-motor symptoms, but treatments, interventions, and assessments often focus more on motor symptoms. Similar non-motor symptoms also occur in older adults. While it is well-known that dance may improve motor outcomes, it is less clear how dance affects non-motor symptoms. This review aims to describe the effects of dance interventions on non-motor symptoms in older adults and PD, highlights limitations of the literature, and identifies opportunities for future research. Overall, intervention parameters, study designs, and outcome measures differ widely, limiting comparisons across studies. Results are mixed in both populations, but evidence supports the potential for dance to improve mood, cognition, and quality of life in PD and healthy older adults. Participation and non-motor symptoms like sleep disturbances, pain, and fatigue have not been measured in older adults. Additional well-designed studies comparing dance and exercise interventions are needed to clarify the effects of dance on non-motor function and establish recommendations for these populations.

“…Sua avaliação se torna relevante em adultos após os 50 anos, visto o declínio em relação a aptidão funcional observado a partir dessa idade, como perda de força muscular, níveis de condicionamento aeróbio, agilidade, equilíbrio, entre outros fatores 2,3 . Tais variáveis têm sido aferidas através de diversos instrumentos que podem ser didaticamente divididas em 3 grupos: testes estabelecidos por uma instituição, como o proposto pela American Aliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD); conjunto de testes proposto por pesquisadores independentes, como a Senior Fitness Test 4 ; ou uso de diversas avaliações distintas em relação as capacidades físicas que compõe um conjunto de testes como observado em estudos recentes 5,6 . Especificamente no conjunto de testes proposto pela AAHPERD, verifica-se um grande número de estudos em idosos [7][8][9][10][11][12] e seus detalhamentos são encontrados em alguns estudos tanto de conceituação da metodologia 1 como na aplicação da mesma 13,14 .…”

Avaliação da aptidão funcional através do conjunto de testes da AAHPERD em mulheres na pós-menopausa: existe declínio entre a quinta e sexta década de vida? foram não ter feito parte de nenhum tipo de intervenção motora sistematizada durante, pelo menos, seis meses do período que antecedeu a coleta de dados da investigação; não apresentar comprometimentos motores ou cognitivos que inviabilizassem a realização dos protocolos de avaliação, não apresentar doença crônica ou degenerativa, lesão musculo-esquelética ou comorbidade que pudessem impedir ou limitar a realização das avaliações. As avaliações foram conduzidas pelos mesmos avaliadores treinados. O grupo 50 a 59 anos apresentou valores médios para idade de 55,3±4,5 anos, FSH de 53,5±21,1 mUI/mL, coordenação 11,4±2,2 segundos, força 20,1±3,9 repetições, flexibilidade 51,7±11,8 centímetros, agilidade 23,2±2,8 segundos e Resistência aeróbia 500±43 segundos e o grupo 60 a 69 anos apresentou idade média de 65,1±4,1 anos com FSH de 54,9±15,9, coordenação 11,6±2,6 segundos, força 20,3±4,7 repetições, flexibilidade 54,6±11,2 centímetros, agilidade 24,7±4,3 segundos e Resistência aeróbia 508±51 segundos. CONCLUSÃO: foi possível analisar a aptidão funcional de mulheres na pós-menopausa por meio do conjunto de testes da American Aliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance não havendo diferenças significativas para as variáveis força, flexibilidade, capacidade aeróbia e coordenação, sendo que apenas a variável agilidade demonstrou diferenças significativas. Recomenda-se outros estudos, buscando formular valores normativos para a população em questão.Abstract PURPOSE: to analize the level of functional fitness of a group of postmenopausal women in the city of Presidente Prudente using the set of functional fitness tests of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance and to check whether there are differences between groups of women in the fifth and sixth decade of life. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 175 postmenopausal women (follicle stimulating hormone level>26.72 mIU/L) in the city of Presidente Prudente in 2013. The inclusion criteria were not being part of any type of systematic motor intervention for at least six months before the collection of research data; absence of motor or cognitive impairment that would prevent the evaluation protocols, and absence of chronic or degenerative disease, musculoskeletal injury or comorbidity that could prevent or limit the evaluations. The women were evaluated by the same trained examiners. The 50 to 59 year group showed a mean age of 55.3±4.5 years, mean FSH values of 53.5±21.1 mIU/mL, mean coordination of 11.4±2.2 seconds, mean strength of 20.1±3.9 repetitions, mean flexibility of 51.7±11.8 cm,

Creative Dance Improves Physical Fitness and Life Satisfaction in Older Women

Abstract: Creative dance has a positive effect in different dimensions of functioning and has the potential to contribute to healthy aging. This could be related to the integrated mobilization of physical, cognitive, and social skills promoted by creative dance.
