About

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.
