NCT ID NCT07658469
First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether moderate-intensity aerobic calisthenics, like the Jiamusi Happy Dance Steps, can improve thinking skills and walking speed in rural older adults with motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), a condition that raises dementia risk. Over 12 weeks, 106 participants will either do these group exercises three times a week or receive routine health education. The goal is to see if this fun, low-cost activity can help protect brain health in communities with limited resources.
