We studied the effect of Thai dancing on physical performance of Thai elderly.Methods: This was an open-labeled, randomized intervention study. The Thai dancing group exercised for 40 minutes three times a week for 6 weeks. Physical performance ability was the primary outcome, including a 6-minute walk test (6MWT), five-times sit-to-stand (FTSST), and a sit-and-reach test measured before and after 6 weeks of intervention.Results: There were 42 subjects enrolled in the study, and 38 female subjects completed (20 in Thai dance group, 18 controls), with an average age of 65.8 ± 5.1 years. The Thai dance group had significantly better physical performance in all measurements at the end of the study. The 6MWT was longer (416.7 ± 58.7 versus 345.7 ± 55.1 m; P = 0.011), FTSST was quicker (10.2 ± 1.5 versus 14.4 ± 3.3 seconds; P < 0.001), and flexibility was higher (14.9 ± 3.5 versus 11.1 ± 5.7 cm; P = 0.002) in the Thai dance group than the control group.Conclusion: Thai dance can improve physical performance in recently aged (elderly) female adults.Keywords: recently aged (elderly) adults, exercise, Thai dancingJanyacharoen TLaophosri MKanpittaya JAuvichayapat PSawanyawisuth KDove Medical PressarticleThe elderlyexerciseThai dancingphysical performanceGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 8, Pp 855-859 (2013)
