本研究的目的是评估爵士舞课堂教学对平衡、认知和情绪的影响研究对象为13名平均年龄为68岁的健康、居住在社区、讲英语的老年妇女，（Folstein简易精神状态检查[MMSE]和老年抑郁量表[GDS]），以及用于平衡测量的感觉组织测试（SOT）（使用NeuroCom智能平衡大师）在研究中的三个时间段进行：时间1：爵士乐课的第1周和第2周之间时间2：爵士乐课的第8周和第9周之间（中点），以及时间3：爵士乐课的第15周之后（最终测量）。平均MMSE和GDS评分随时间的差异不显著;然而，SOT评分显示出增加的趋势（p < .001）。使用重复测量的方差分析的数据分析显示，在整个研究期间，平衡测量得到改善（F-2，F-10 = 19.68，p < .001）。使用配对t检验和Bonferroni校正的事后分析表明，从时间1到时间2以及从时间2到时间3，平衡显著增加。这些初步的试点研究结果表明，爵士舞不会影响认知或情绪，但可能会改善老年女性的平衡。由于福尔斯是男女老年人发病率和死亡率的主要原因，因此需要研究评估爵士舞对老年男性平衡的影响以及爵士舞作为老年人跌倒预防策略的影响。此外，需要更大样本量的纵向研究来测试爵士舞作为改善平衡，认知和情绪的策略的有效性。
The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the impact of jazz dance class instruction on balance, cognition, and mood (specifically depression) in 13 healthy, community-dwelling, English-speaking older women with a mean age of 68.Data were collected using self-report questionnaires (Folstein Mini Mental Status Examination [MMSE] and Geriatric Depression Scale [GDS]), and the sensory organization test (SOT) for balance measurements (using the NeuroCom Smart Balance Master) was performed at three time periods in the study: time 1: between week 1 and week 2 of jazz class (baseline), time 2: between week 8 and week 9 of jazz class (midpoint), and time 3: after week 15 of jazz class (final measurement).Differences in mean MMSE and GDS scores over time were not significant; however, SOT scores showed an increasing trend (p < .001). Data analysis using analysis of variance with repeated measures showed that balance measures improved throughout the duration of the study (F-2,F-10 = 19.68, p < .001). Post hoc analyses using paired t tests with a Bonferroni correction indicated that significant increases in balance occurred from time 1 to time 2 and from time 2 to time 3. These preliminary pilot study findings suggest that jazz dance does not impact cognition or mood but may improve balance in older women. This finding may have significant implications for fall prevention in the postmenopausal population.Because falls are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in older adults of both genders, research is needed to evaluate both the impact of jazz dance on balance in older men and jazz dance as a fall prevention strategy in aging adults. Additionally, longitudinal research with a larger sample size is needed to test the effectiveness of jazz dance as a strategy for improving balance, cognition, and mood.
