Abstract des Autors
Normal aging is associated with structural and neurophysiological changes in the brain as well as a reduction in cognitive functions. But aging isn’t necessarily associated with neurodegeneration only. Physical and cognitive activities have been shown to improve brain plasticity. We assumed that dancing could be an ideal intervention for neuroprotection because it combines exercise and cognitive, coordination and emotional features. (geändert)
