Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of a structured line dance program on cognitive function, physical performance, and quality of life in older women with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A total of 75 participants aged 60-75 with a diagnosis of MCI will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a high-beat-per-minute (HBLD) line dance group, a low-beat-per-minute (LBLD) line dance group, or a control group receiving no intervention. The intervention will last for 12 weeks, with sessions held three times per week for 60 minutes. Outcome measures include the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), physical function tests, and a quality of life questionnaire. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of non-pharmacological, rhythm-based exercise interventions for improving cognitive and physical health in older adults with cognitive decline.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

High-BPM Line Dance Group

Participants in this group will engage in a line dance intervention with music tempos of 130-140 beats per minute (BPM), three times per week for 12 weeks. Each session lasts 60 minutes and includes warm-up, core choreography, and cool-down phases.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

High-BPM Line Dance

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A structured aerobic dance program set to music with tempos of 130-140 BPM, designed to improve cognitive and physical function in older adults with MCI.

Low-BPM Line Dance Group

Participants in this group will engage in a line dance intervention with music tempos of 90-100 beats per minute (BPM), three times per week for 12 weeks. Each session lasts 60 minutes and follows the same structure as the HBLD group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low-BPM Line Dance

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A structured aerobic dance program set to music with tempos of 90-100 BPM, using the same choreography but slower rhythm and reduced rest intervals.

Control Group

Participants in this group will not receive any specific intervention but will maintain their usual daily activities throughout the 12-week period.

Group Type OTHER

Usual Daily Activity

Intervention Type OTHER

No structured intervention will be provided. Participants will continue their routine lifestyle.
