Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of Thai dance with twenty-five squares on cerebrovascular and cognitive function in elderly with mild cognitive impairment

Detailed Description

Twenty elderly with mild cognitive impairment aged 60 years and over were randomized into 2 groups: control group (CON; n=20) and Thai dance with twenty-five squares training group (TDT; n=20). Participants in CON group do their daily routine without receiving any training program, while those in TDT group completed receiving Thai dance with twenty-five squares training program three time a week for twelve week-long (60 minutes/time). The physiological data, cerebrovascular function, cognitive, respiratory function, health-related physical fitness, and Blood biochemistry variables were analyzed during the pre-test and post-tests. The dependent variables between pre-test and post-tests were analyzed by paired t-test. The variables between pre-test and post-test were analyzed by paired t-test. In addition, an independent t-test was used to compare the variables between groups. Statistical significance was defined as p < .05.

Study Groups

Thai dance with twenty-five squares (TDT)

The participants received a Thai dance with twenty-five squares (TDT) program 3 days/week, 12 weeks. This training comprises 10 minutes of warm up, following by 40 minutes of exercise at 40-50% of heart rate reserve at week 1-4, 50-60% of heart rate reserve at week 5-8, and 60-70% of heart rate reserve at week 9-12, 5 minutes of cool down.
