Can dancing online keep Alzheimer's at bay?

This study tested whether a 12-week program of online group dance classes is a practical and acceptable way to help young adults with Down syndrome get more active. Because over 90% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer's disease, and physical activity may help delay its onset, researchers wanted to see if this fun, social exercise could work. They measured how many people stuck with the program, the energy they burned, and any changes in fitness and thinking skills.
