Summary
Brief Summary: This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether a 12-week multi-component exercise program (combining waltz, resistance training, and agility training) can improve the physical, psychological, and cognitive function of women aged 65 and under with dyslipidemia. Key research questions include: Does this intervention lower lipid levels (e.g., total cholesterol, triglycerides) and improve body composition (e.g., body fat percentage, lean muscle mass)? Compared to a non-exercise control group, does this intervention enhance cardiovascular health, balance, mental health, and cognitive function? Researchers will compare outcomes in the exercise intervention group and the non-exercise control group to assess the effectiveness of the program. Study Procedure: Participants will: attend supervised exercise classes three times a week for 12 weeks (approximately 90 minutes per class). The program includes: - Waltz training (basic steps and choreographed dance movements), - Resistance band exercises (targeting major muscle groups), - Agility and balance training modules. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will include: - Lipid analysis, - Body composition analysis, - Cardiovascular health and balance tests, - Standardized mental health and cognitive assessments.
