What are the benefits of adapted physical activity (APA) for people with cardiovascular diseases?
Adapted physical activity (APA) offers many benefits to people with cardiovascular diseases. Doctors recommend combining aerobic activities with resistance exercises to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
As an aerobic exercise, dancing is an ideal activity because it strengthens the heart and lungs, thereby improving blood circulation.
Additionally, dancing can help control blood pressure and cholesterol levels, important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It also promotes weight loss and diabetes management.
Mentally, dancing reduces stress and anxiety, promotes relaxation and improves mood. Finally, this type of social activity promotes exchanges and interactions, making it possible to combat the social isolation of seniors.
Do gentle practices and dance limit the risk of the appearance of which other diseases?
Sometimes, taking dance classes is just as effective as making an appointment with the physiotherapist.
DanseTousStyles teachers who have provided dance classes in EHPADs have notably noticed a strong improvement in residents’ motor skills and balance, thus reducing the risk of injury.
Gentle practices, such as yoga and meditation, reduce stress and anxiety, thus helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases and certain musculoskeletal disorders. They also improve sleep and strengthen the immune system.
How does gentle dancing stimulate the mental health of seniors? (Tai chi, Aerobics, Yoga, etc.)
Gentle dance, such as tai chi, aerobics and yoga, boosts the mental health of seniors in several ways.
It promotes the release of endorphins, improves blood circulation to the brain, reduces stress and anxiety, promotes relaxation and concentration, and enhances the feeling of general well-being.
Sometimes, thanks to dance classes, seniors rediscover their youth through their past memories of bal musettes and ginguettes.
In addition, seniors who memorize dance steps also work on their cognition and short-term memory. Engaging in this type of activity regularly helps limit the risk of developing age-related dementias, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
At DanseTousStyles, 80% of seniors re-enroll in dance classes in EHPADs. When given the choice between different leisure activities such as meditation, music or boxing, more than 70% opt for dancing.
The impressive figures for re-registrations for dance classes in EHPADs demonstrate the appeal and effectiveness of this practice among seniors, thus underlining its importance in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.
