Dancing as a mean of physical activity intervention Dance is a rhythmic movement usually performed with music. To many, it is a pleasurable activity that can be taken up as a hobby and social activity and therefore engagement can be self-sustaining. It is of minimal-cost and can be performed even in older persons with physical and cognitive impairment. Dancing involves movement of the body and limbs and is in itself a physical training. It also involves memory, attention, sensory stimulation, social interaction, emotional perception and expression that presumably could protect against cognitive decline and depression. Dance training may improve verbal fluency, word list delayed recall and word list recognition in older adults with metabolic syndrome, suggesting that dance may be effective in preventing cognitive decline. Aerobic dance also has been shown to enhance exercise endurance strength, balance, agility and gait performance in older adults. Our team had previously designed and implemented a balance dance to a group of patients with PD for 8 weeks. Together with other training, balance ability and walking speed increased and the effects lasted for 12 months after treatment completion. Given the likely positive effects of aerobic dance, it appears to be a good exercise candidate for enhancing cognitive, mood and physical functions in patients with cerebral SVD.
