- Lead Sponsor
- University of Valencia
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of a telematic dance intervention on the quality of life of older people.
This project is a controlled, randomized clinical trial. 54 people (Intervention Group, n=27; Control Group, n=27) between the ages of 60-80 will participate in the study.
Intervention Group participants will perform a 3-month telematic dance program based on choreographic work. The participants shall be measured 3 times, at baseline, post-intervention, and at 6-month post-intervention follow-up. Aside from the quality of life, variables of balance, risk of falling, number of falls, level of physical activity, mood, functionality, comorbidity, and quadriceps strength will also be measured.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Changes in quality of Life 0-3 months Changes produced by a 3-month telematic dance program related to quality of life (EuroQol 5 Dimensions - 3 levels Index, 0 to 1 point, higher values = better outcome).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Body composition 0-3 months Changes on body composition (measured by bioimpedance in %) generated by 3-month telematic dance program
Balance 0-3 months Changes on balance produced by a 3-month dance program measured by Timed Up and Go Test (measured in seconds) and one single leg stance test (measured in seconds).
Fear of falling 0-3 months Changes on fear of falling measured by Falls Efficacy Scale-International (16 items measured by 4 point Lickert scale; 1= not worried, 4= very worried, (0-64)), and number of falls (retractive, 3 previous months and prospective, 3 following months).
Functionality 0-3 months Changes in functionality and independence measured by Barthel Index (0 to 100 points, \< 60 dependence, higher values = better outcome) produced by a 3-month telematic dance program.
Adherence 0-3 months Measurement of adherence (expressed in % of assistance to the 24 sessions) to the 3-month telematic dance program.
Mood 0-3-6 months Changes in mood measured by the Mood Evaluation Scale (16 items measured in Likert scales (0-10)) produced by a 3-month telematic dance program.
Level of physical activity 0-3-6 months Changes in the level of physical activity measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (expressed in minutes) produced by a 3-month telematic dance program
Knee extension isometric strength 0-3 months Changes produced in knee extension isometric strength measured with dynamometer (N) by a 3-month telematic dance program
