Abstract des Autors
Several factors are known to contribute to sarcopenia but amongst these, neuroendocrine changes are commonly regarded as primary drivers of this process. Oxidative damage due to increased levels of reactive oxygen species has been shown to cause denervation and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) degeneration, leading to fibre loss and muscle atrophy. The aim of this study was to investigate whether an aerobic activity such as dancing also afforded some neuroprotective effects when performed for several months when compared to general fitness (strength, endurance and flexibility) training.
