Summary

The study aims to assess the preliminary efficacy of a Dual-Task Zumba Gold (DTZ) intervention that will support physical and cognitive training among community-dwelling persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A 12-week Dual-Task Zumba Gold (DTZ) intervention will be implemented among 30 participants with MCI in the treatment group, while health education will be provided to another 30 subjects allocated in the control group. Changes in global cognitive function, together with the quality of life, mood, functional mobility, and bodily measures, will be re-assessed after the 12-week intervention and a 6-week follow-up period. Quantitative and qualitative methods will also be employed to assess the feasibility and acceptability outcomes of the study.

BEHAVIORAL

Dual-Task Zumba Gold

Dual-Task Zumba Gold is a 12-week program to be conducted thrice weekly for 45-60 minutes. The intervention involves the concurrent performance of cognitive tasks and physical movements during specific parts of the dance. The activity will begin with warm-up and end with cool-down periods, at 5 to 10 minutes each. Orientation training will be done during the warm-up period, by asking questions to participants about time, place, and person. In the actual dance (30 to 40 minutes), the following domains will be trained: executive function (forward and backward serial counting); perceptual-motor ability (performing arm clock positions based on instructions); memory (forward and backward repetition of number/word series), and attention (forward and backward spelling of 3- to 5-letter words). The cool-down period will incorporate memory training by reminding the participants to summarize the activities performed.
