Abstract des Autors
Based on previous results, we assumed that a dance program which stresses permanent new skill acquisition and learning processes should best improve both physical performances (balancing and movement coordination) and cognitive functions (learning, memory, and attention). Knowing that aerobic training and coordination skill training lead to volume increases in grey and white matter and influence motor and cognitive performances positively in the elderly, we were interested whether a dance training compared to a combined endurance and strength-endurance training shows larger brain volume increases. Therefore we used a new voxel-based morphometry approach in SPM12 called pairwise longitudinal group comparison.
