“…In addition, the study length and sample size, one of the largest among studies focused on multicomponent exercise programs in LTNH residents, are strong points of our research. It is interesting to note also that the observed attendance at exercise sessions in our study was higher (91%) than that found in similar studies . However, we also note some limitations: this study is a post hoc analysis and thus encompasses the limitations of this design.…”

OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of multicomponent exercise on frailty and related adverse outcomes in residents of long‐term nursing homes (LTNHs). DESIGN A single‐blind randomized controlled trial. SETTING Ten LTNHs in Gipuzkoa, Spain. PARTICIPANTS The study sample comprised 112 men and women aged 70 years or older who scored 50 or higher on the Barthel Index, 20 or higher on the MEC‐35 test (an adapted and validated version of the Mini‐Mental State Examination in Spanish), and who were capable of standing up and walking independently for at least 10 m. INTERVENTION Subjects in the control group (CG) participated in routine activities. The intervention group (IG) participated in a 6‐month program of individualized and progressive multicomponent exercise at moderate intensity. MEASUREMENTS Frailty was assessed by four different scales at baseline and at 6 months. The Barthel Index was measured at baseline and at 12 months. Frailty‐related adverse outcomes were recorded from 12 months before to 12 months after starting the intervention. RESULTS A lower prevalence of frailty was observed in the IG compared with the CG according to Fried's frailty phenotype, Short Physical Performance Battery, and Tilburg Frailty Indicator after 6 months (p < .05). There was a decline in the CG on the Barthel Index after 12 months (p < .05), whereas score was maintained in the IG. Both groups experienced a similar number of falls before and after the intervention (p > .05), but during the 6‐month intervention period, fewer falls were observed in the IG than the CG (p < .05). Lower overall mortality was observed 12 months after starting the intervention for the IG than the CG (1 vs 6, respectively; p = .05). CONCLUSION Individualized and progressive multicomponent exercise at moderate intensity seems to be effective to prevent falls and reduce frailty and mortality.

Background: There is no curative medical treatment for dementia. Therefore, researchers turned their attention to non-pharmacological treatment approaches. Many reviews analyzed the efficacy of single-component interventions, but there has been no systematic review of multicomponent interventions so far. Objective: The aim was to systematically review studies using standardized multicomponent group interventions for persons with dementia or persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to analyze their immediate intervention effects. Methods: The databases PubMed, PsycINFO, PSYNDEX, and CINAHL were systematically searched. We included randomized controlled trials with people with MCI or dementia, which implemented interventions with at least two components that targeted different outcome domains. Additionally, the intervention had to be standardized and in a group setting. Results: Nine studies met the inclusion criteria with a total sample size of N = 513 participants. Six studies applied two, two studies applied three, and one study applied four components. Four studies, which combined at least a physical and a cognitive component, had a positive effect on non-cognitive symptoms of dementia. Two of these interventions additionally had a positive effect on cognitive abilities. One study reported a positive effect on activities of daily living and another study showed an effect on quality of life. Conclusion: In spite of the heterogeneity of the studies, multicomponent interventions suggest a positive effect on non-cognitive symptoms, especially the combination of cognitive and physical components. Single studies had also an effect on additional outcome domains. By trend the effects are dependent on application rate and used assessments.

“…Embodiment has only recently joined the domain of cognitive science (Marmeleira & Duarte Santos, 2019). Most research using body‐oriented interventions to enhance cognitive functioning have done so with psychopathologic (Galbusera, Fellin, & Fuchs, 2019), elderly (Pereira, Rosado, Cruz‐Ferreira, & Marmeleira, 2018), or children populations (Frith et al, 2019). The current study highlights the potential of embodiment to optimize the mind and body of healthy adults.…”

Effects of Movement Improvisation and Aerobic Dancing on Motor Creativity and Divergent Thinking

Creativity is considered to be an embodied concept, where internal psychological and external behavioral processes are intertwined. Creativity enhancement programs often target the cognitive side of this bi‐dimensionality leaving the impact of motor interventions underexplored. To address this gap in the literature, we tested the effectiveness of two motor programs on motor creativity and divergent thinking (verbal and figural). A total of 92 college students (Mage = 25.36, SD = 2.66) were randomly allocated to a movement improvisation, an aerobic dance, or a control condition. Participants in both motor programs took part in ten 30‐minute classes twice a week over a period of 5 weeks. The findings revealed a significant effect of the motor programs on motor fluency and flexibility. Movement improvisation yielded the greatest effects on those variables, followed by aerobic dancing and control condition. Movement improvisation also impacted significantly more figural originality than the control condition. However, the effects were limited to the motor domain and failed to transfer into other divergent thinking variables. The findings highlighted the contribution of movement programs to creative potential development, and the imperative role of a non‐judgmental environment, where individuals are free to move spontaneously.
