Is It Possible For Aerobic Dance To Slow Cognitive Decline In The Elderly? (Literature Review)
Keywords:
Aerobic exercise, aerobic dance, cognitive, elderlyAbstract
The purpose of writing this article is to analyze articles that are relevant to aerobic dance exercises in helping slow cognitive decline in the elderly. To collect material for this study, a literature review was conducted. This included searching for many publications using the search function on Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, and books by entering relevant keywords "aerobic exercise", “aerobic dance”, "cognitive" and "elderly" Literature sources used 2015-2024. Based on the results of a literature review, it was found that aerobic dance exercises can slow cognitive decline in the elderly. The mechanism when doing aerobic dance exercises is that blood flow to the brain will be smooth and by improving the cardiovascular system, it will help improve the entire metabolic system. So aerobic dance exercises can be used as an alternative way of slowing cognitive decline.
