Effects of Music-with-Movement on Cognitive and Physical Performance of People With Potentially Reversible Cognitive Frailty: a Randomised Controlled Trial

Participants is engaged in 4 sessions for each training, including rhythmic marching, singing familiar songs, dance workout with elastic bands and stretching exercise with relaxing music. This combination of physical and cognitive activities aims to improve overall well-being by integrating music and movement, making the exercise both enjoyable and beneficial for mental and physical health. Rhythmic aerobic exercises to music focuses on rhythm and movement accuracy. Listening and singing familiar songs is cognitively stimulating. Dance workout allows strength and endurance training with music. Stretching exercise with relaxing music improves the range of movement in major muscle and tendon groups.

Participants in the social control group will have a social gathering at the participating center once weekly over the 16 weeks. They will also continue to receive the usual care offered by the centers, such as social support, and health education.
