Top Highlights
- significant behavioral effect was found in the attention domain, with Z scores increasing in the DI group and decreasing in the LAU group
- DI led to intervention-specific complex brain plasticity changes that were of cognitive relevance.
- intervention included various dance types, e.g., Irish country, African, and Greek, etc., which were combined into a final choreography and performed at medium physical load intensity three times per week
- complex neuropsychological testing evaluated global cognitive functions (Montreal Cognitive Assessment—MOCA) and five domains: memory, attention, executive functions, visuospatial functions, and language.
