Effects of a Salsa Dance Training on Balance and Strength Performance in Older Adults
Gerontology, 01/13/2012
Granacher U et al. – Salsa proved to be a safe and feasible exercise programme for older adults accompanied with a high adherence rate. Age–related deficits in measures of static and particularly dynamic postural control can be mitigated by salsa dancing in older adults. High physical activity and fitness/mobility levels of participants could be responsible for the nonsignificant findings in gait variability and leg extensor power.
