Clinical Trial 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.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Telematic dance program
Telematic dance program The dance program will consist of 24 sessions distributed twice a week for a total period of 3 months. Each session will include: A) Warm up: It will consist of analytical and global movements of increasing intensity and stretching exercises. It will also involve body awareness and motor control exercises. B) Choreography part: the participants must follow and learn the choreographies. Intensity ranges shall vary between low and moderate. (3-4 in Borg's Modified Scale (0-10)). C) Cool down: It will consist of global movements of decreasing intensity, stretching, breathing, and relaxing exercises.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Changes in quality of Life	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).	0-3 months
Secondary	Adherence	Measurement of adherence (expressed in % of assistance to the 24 sessions) to the 3-month telematic dance program.	0-3 months
Secondary	Body composition	Changes on body composition (measured by bioimpedance in %) generated by 3-month telematic dance program	0-3 months
Secondary	Balance	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).	0-3 months
Secondary	Fear of falling	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).	0-3 months
Secondary	Level of physical activity	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	0-3-6 months
Secondary	Mood	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.	0-3-6 months
Secondary	Functionality	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.	0-3 months
Secondary	Knee extension isometric strength	Changes produced in knee extension isometric strength measured with dynamometer (N) by a 3-month telematic dance program	0-3 months
