Brief Summary: Objective The aim of this study is to compare neuromuscular exercises and dance Therapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia results in geriatrics

Methods As a result of the power analysis G-Power 36 participants are planned to be included in this study Block randomization will be used to divide participants into 2 groups each with at least 18 participants Group 1 NE Group and Group 2 DT Group Randomizerorg NE Neuromuscular Exercise group will participate in a 12-week exercise program consisting of sensorimotor system training postural stability and control global and local joint stabilization balance training muscle strength breathing and functional movement patternsDT Dance Therapy Group will participate in 12-week dance training by a dance instructor In dance therapy practices simple and selected basic movements are appropriate to the level of the participants Data will be collected using the Berg Balance Scale30-second-Sit-to-Stand Test Manual Muscle Testing goniometer measurement and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia

Practice Implications This current study will contribute to the understanding of how neuromuscular exercises and dance therapy affect physical function and kinesiophobia in geriatrics
Detailed Description: Human aging is a complex and individual process that occurs in biological psychological and social areas The metabolic and physicochemical characteristics of cells gradually change with age a process known as biological aging This results in cellular self-regulation regeneration and structural alterations as well as the degeneration of healthy tissues and organs

Physical performance impairments are linked to a wide range of negative health consequences including osteoporosis falls and fractures and are one of the most important health problems in geriatrics Proprioceptive perception is significantly related to postural stability Musculoskeletal system disorders in physiological neurological kinesthetic auditory vestibular proprioception and cognitive systems cause balance problems which may lead to an increase in the frequency of falls in the elderly

Dance therapy is a physical and mental activity in which the body moves purposefully and rhythmically to music Regardless of its type dance brings physical cognitive and spiritual goals It includes physical goals such as effective and dynamic body mechanics movement awareness and control flexibility strength coordination endurance and thus expanding the bodys movement capacity

Although the effects of dance therapy on strength flexibility stress depression quality of life and sleep quality in geriatric patients have been investigated in the Turkish literature no studies comparing dance therapy with any physical exercise program have been found It is thought that this study will shed light on the literature in the mentioned field

The aim of this study is to compare neuromuscular exercises and danceTherapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia results in geriatrics

Methods

Participants

Volunteer individuals who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and are first and second-year students of Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University 60 Renewal University will participate in the study Detailed information about the study will be given to each participant who wishes to participate in the study and their written and verbal consent will be obtained

According to the power analysis made with the G-power program it was found that 80 power can be obtained with 95 confidence when at least 30 people are included in the study While calculating the sample size timed get-up and walk test results Group 1 781 standard deviation 091 Group 2 931 standard deviation 124 were taken as a basis and the effect size was calculated as 1379 The risk of case loss was taken into account by taking a reserve rate of 20 and it was planned to include 36 participants The cases will be divided into 2 groups by block randomization using the internet program consisting of at least 18 individuals Group 1 NE group and Group 2 AE group Randomizerorg

Study Protocol

The study will be divided into two parallel groups The Neuromuscular Exercise group and the Dance Therapy group Both groups will participate in exercise programs for 12 weeks

Evaluations will be administered before and after exercise programs Data will be collected using the Berg Balance Scale30-second-Sit-to-Stand Test Manual Muscle Testing goniometer measurement and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia

Training and Exercise Applications

A Neuromuscular exercise program consisting of sensorimotor system training postural stability and control global and local joint stabilization balance training muscle strength breathing and functional movement patterns will be created for the participants in Group 1 Exercises will start with breathing and a 10-minute warm-up period static and dynamic proprioception kinesthesia training weighting on the extremities balance walking open kinetic chain closed kinetic chain exercises postural control exercises Frenkel coordination exercises balance exercises balance ball and with a balance board muscle strength calisthenic exercises therabat exercises plyometric exercises and core stabilization exercises will be applied progressively over the weeks and will end with a 10-minute cooling period including flexibility and relaxation exercises

2 Participants in Group 2 will be given dance training by a dance instructor in the gym for 1 hour a day 2 days a week for a total of 12 weeks In dance therapy practices simple and basic movements are appropriate to the level of the participants and special attention will be paid to the rhythm of the music not being fast Latin dances were applied to the participants selected rumba merengue bachata and salsa movements Dance therapy will start with a warm-up exercise 10 minutes then dance exercises will be applied and the activity will end with a cool-down exercise 10 minutes

Exercise sessions in both groups will last 45-60 minutes and will be applied twice a week for 12 weeks Blood pressure measurements of all participants will be taken before the applications Exercise participation will be recorded in each session

Statistical Analysis

In the statistical analysis of data will obtain in this study a Windows-based SPSS IBM SPSS Statistics Version 240 Armonk NY USA package program will use Continuous variables will express as a mean standard deviation or as a median minimum-maximum values and categorical variables as a number and percent Analytical Kolmogorov-SmirnovShapiro-Wilks test and visual Histogram and probability graphs methods will use to test the conformity of data for normal distribution When the parametric test assumptions were provided Independent Sample T-Test will use to compare independent group differences when the parametric test assumptions were not provided the Mann Whitney-U test will use to compare independent group differences In the dependent group analyses when the parametric test assumptions were provided Paired Sample T-Test will use when the parametric test assumptions were not provided Wilcoxon Test will use Chi-Square Analysis and Fisher Exact Test will use compare differences between categorical variables
