“…The literature has highlighted the benefits of interventions that associate physical exercises with cognitive training (dual task) to improve the perception of the quality of life in older adults (Wollesen et al, 2017). The results of a recent pilot study, in which a Zumba dance program was used as a dualtask protocol training, showed that older adults and persons with mild cognitive impairment improved their mobility, overall cognition, and quality of life (Parial et al, 2021), which corroborates the results of our study. Another recent study showed that an 8-week dual-task training with blood flow restriction resulted in a significant time effect on executive function, sleep quality, and mood in healthy older women.…”

Objective To evaluate the effect of a 24-week dual-task training with progression from variable to fixed priority on the concern about falling, confidence in balance, quality of life, and depression symptoms in community-dwelling older adults. Methods A total of 60 participants (60–80 y.o.) were randomly allocated into a dual-task training group with progression from variable to fixed priority (experimental group) or into a dual-task training group with variable priority (control group). Results No between-group difference was observed after the intervention. A significant time effect showed a reduction in concern about falling [mean difference (MD) = -2.91)] and depression symptoms (MD = −1.66), an increase in the physical function (MD = 7.86), overall mental health (MD = 5.82), perception of vitality, energy, and less fatigue (MD = 10.45), general perception of overall health (MD = 6.81), and their health compared to the last year (MD = 11.89). Conclusion The experimental protocol was not superior to the control one. However, both protocols improved these outcomes.

Dual-Task Zumba Gold for Improving the Cognition of People With Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Background and Objectives Integrating mental activities with physical exercises (e.g., dual-tasking) may potentially improve cognition in older adults and people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This study investigated the preliminary efficacy of a new intervention called dual-task Zumba Gold (DTZ) on people with MCI to guide an adequately-powered full-scale trial. Research Design and Methods This is a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial with 60 people with MCI assigned to a 12-week DTZ intervention or control group (health education). We hypothesized that DTZ would facilitate significant improvements in global cognition (primary outcome) and other psychological/physical measures at post-intervention (T1) and 6-week follow-up (T2). Generalized estimating equations with intention-to-treat approach were used to evaluate intervention effects. Post-intervention qualitative interviews explored the participants’ program perceptions. Results Fifty-one participants completed the study, with no adverse events reported. DTZ participants showed significant improvements in global cognition (p < .001, d = 0.75-0.78), executive function (p < .001, d = 0.28-0.33), immediate recall (p < .001, d = 0.50-0.54), delayed recall (p = .003, d = 0.66-0.71), quality of life (p = .027, d = 0.59-0.63) and mobility (p = .005, d = 0.53-0.56) at T1 and T2. There were non-significant changes in working memory, depressive symptoms, blood pressure, body mass index, and waist circumference. Participants conveyed intervention acceptability, including challenges/barriers, enablers, and future recommendations. Discussion and Implications DTZ is a potentially feasible intervention for people with MCI that may improve cognition, quality of life, and mobility. A full-scale trial is recommended for confirmatory evaluation.
