Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The aim of this observational study is to assess functional fitness and spatial-temporal gait parameters in individuals aged 65 years and over who regularly participate in senior dance classes. These outcomes will be compared with those of two inactive control groups: aged-matched older adults and inactive middle-aged individuals (aged 25-40 years) who have not engaged in any structured physical activity in the past six months. Furthermore, our study aimed to assess the correlation between the duration of participation in senior dance and the measured variables including physical fitness, gait characteristics, and mental well-being.
