Effectiveness of Choreograph-exercise training versus Multi-modal exercise training on Cognitive function, Psycho-behavioral symptoms in Geriatrics Population: A Pilot Study

Abstract

Background: Global population ageing is contributing to a growing public health crisis of cognitive impairment (CI), depression, anxiety, and stress. Cognitive dysfunction can affect a variety of cognitive processes, including attention, verbal and nonverbal learning, short-term and working memory, visual and auditory processing, problem-solving, processing speed, and motor functioning. The study aimed to compare the benefits of multi-modal exercise training to choreograph-based exercise training on psycho-behavioural symptoms and cognitive performance in the elderly population. Methods: The populations were distributed using a basic random sampling approach. Eight geriatric groups with cognitive impairment and psycho-behavioural alterations were the subjects of a comparative investigation. Training in choreographed exercises was given to Group A (n = 4), whereas training in multi-modal exercises was given to Group B (n = 4). The study's inclusion requirements required one to be 60 years of age or older. Both genders, MMSE scores 18–30, DASS scores 10–13 for depression, 8–9 for anxiety, and 15–18 for stress. Pre- and post-c Outcome indicators were assessed using MMSE and DASS. Results: A statistically significant (p<0.05) effect was indicated by a within-group examination of all the outcome measures following the intervention. A statistically significant (p<0.05) effect was indicated by a between-group examination of all the outcome measures following the intervention. Exercise training focused on choreography had a greater impact than the other group. Conclusion: The study found that in the senior population, choreograph-based exercise training was superior to multi-modal exercise training in terms of enhancing cognitive function and lowering psycho-behavioural symptoms.
