Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of a dance intervention performed at home, on cardiovascular risk factors and functional capacity of elderly individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Comparison will be performed with a walking exercise intervention, performed outside. Dance sessions will be guided online by an expertise instructor, and walking sessions will be performed at a self-selected intensity, with no simultaneous supervision. All participants will complete an exercise diary after each exercise session (reporting perception of subjective effort, affective responses, and others).The participants will include men and women between 65 and 80 years old, with body mass index inferior to 35 Kg /m2. The main outcome of this study is the peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak). The secondary outcomes are cardiovascular risk associated factors (C-reactive protein, TNF-alpha, lipid profile, etc) and functional performance (muscle strength and power, balance, gate ability, etc). Cognitive skills (executive function and memory) will be also assessed. The experimental design will include a control period of four weeks, two sessions of assessments before and after the interventions, and twelve weeks of dancing or walking interventions, performed three times a week, in non-consecutive days, with 60 min duration.

Interventions

OTHER

Dancing

Participants randomized to the dance group will take part in a dance intervention programme for 12 weeks, including 3 sessions per week (non-consecutive days), each lasting 60 min. Dance classes will be performed individually at home, guided by an expertise instructor, as live sessions online. They will include a variety of rhythms such as salsa, merengue, jazz dance, aerobics, etc. The dance sessions will include a warm up of approximately 10 min (posture, join mobility and dance technique), a main part of 40 min (practicing isolated dance moves and learning of specific choreographic routines), and a cool down of 10 min (muscle stretching and relaxation).
