The goal of the project is to identify the most effective exercise modalities in terms of neuroprotective effects and FP improvement.
Hypothesis: Dancing will increase BDNF, GDNF and CLU levels to a greater extent than traditional forms of AF, resulting in significantly greater improvements in FP in subjects aged ≥ 60 years. The study will involve 60 women aged ≥ 60 years, randomly and equitably assigned to training groups (i.e., resistance training using body weight, dance) and a control group (i.e., a group of physically inactive women).
Methodology:
Participants: 60 women aged ≥ 60 randomly and equally assigned to training groups (Dance and Resistance training) and a control group (i.e., physically inactive women)
Scientists will compare the impact of different forms of physical activity on cognitive functions
