Neuromuscular aging [Elektronski vir] : a case for the neuroprotective effects of dancingFranchi, Martino V. ...Aim: We planned a cross-sectional investigation (study 1) and a longitudinal training intervention (study 2) to investigate whether recreational dancing affords greater neuroprotective effects ... against age-related neuromuscular junction (NMJ) degeneration compared to general fitness exercise training. Methods: In study 1, we recruited 19 older volunteers regularly practising dancing (older dancers [OD]) and 15 recreationally physically active older individuals (OA) and physical performance, muscle morphology, muscle function, and NMJ stability (from serum C-terminal agrin fragment [CAF] concentration) were assessed. In study 2, employing a longitudinal study design in a different cohort (composed of 37 older adults), we aimed to study whether a 6-month dancing intervention decreased CAF concentration compared to general fitness exercise training in older adults. Results: Our findings show that OD had a lower CAF concentration (suggesting an increased NMJ stability) compared to OA. This result was accompanied by superior functional performance despite no differences in muscle size. In study 2, we observed a reduction in CAF concentration only in the dancing group. Conclusion: Overall, these findings suggest that dancing is an effective training modality to promote neuroprotection and increase muscle function in healthy older individuals.Source: Gerontology. - ISSN 1423-0003 (vol. 69, iss. 1, 2023, str. 73-81)Type of material - e-article ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2023Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 133488387
