卡拉今天看了什麼Dance training is superior to repetitive physical exercise in inducing brain plasticity in the elderly | PLOS ONE
Link📌 Summary: 本研究旨在探討挑戰性舞蹈訓練對老年人腦部結構與功能的影響，並與傳統的健身訓練進行比較。研究發現，舞蹈訓練相比傳統運動能在多個腦區（如前扣帶皮質和體感運動皮質）內引發更顯著的腦容量增加，並提升血漿BDNF水平，這與神經可塑性相關。認知測試顯示，兩組參與者在注意力和空間記憶方面均有改善，但舞蹈組在提升腦部結構方面具有更明顯的效果，顯示舞蹈訓練對抗老化的潛力。🎯 Key Points:
- 研究對象：38位63至80歲的健康老年人，分為舞蹈組和健身組。
- 介入方式：舞蹈訓練包含不斷學習新舞步，比較為重複性的健身運動。
- 腦部變化：舞蹈組在多個重要腦區的灰質和白質容積增加比健身組更顯著。
- 血漿BDNF水平：舞蹈組顯示上升，健身組無顯著變化。
- 認知功能：兩組在注意力和空間記憶上均有所進步，但無顯著差異顯示需進一步觀察。

Dance training is superior to repetitive physical exercise in inducing brain plasticity in the elderly
Animal research indicates that a combination of physical activity and sensory enrichment has the largest and the only sustaining effect on adult neuroplasticity. Dancing has been suggested as a human homologue to this combined intervention as it poses demands on both physical and cognitive functions. For the present exploratory study, we designed an especially challenging dance program in which our elderly participants constantly had to learn novel and increasingly difficult choreographies. This six-month-long program was compared to conventional fitness training matched for intensity. An extensive pre/post-assessment was performed on the 38 participants (63–80 y), covering general cognition, attention, memory, postural and cardio-respiratory performance, neurotrophic factors and–most crucially–structural MRI using an exploratory analysis. For analysis of MRI data, a new method of voxel-based morphometry (VBM) designed specifically for pairwise longitudinal group comparisons was employed. Both interventions increased physical fitness to the same extent. Pronounced differences were seen in the effects on brain volumes: Dancing compared to conventional fitness activity led to larger volume increases in more brain areas, including the cingulate cortex, insula, corpus callosum and sensorimotor cortex. Only dancing was associated with an increase in plasma BDNF levels. Regarding cognition, both groups improved in attention and spatial memory, but no significant group differences emerged. The latter finding may indicate that cognitive benefits may develop later and after structural brain changes have taken place. The present results recommend our challenging dance program as an effective measure to counteract detrimental effects of aging on the brain.
