Dancing with heart health sets rhythm for rehab study
Romualdo Belardinelli of Lancisi Heart Institute reported results from a study at an American Heart Association meeting in Chicago comparing music guided waltzing to standard exercise for heart failure patients. Nineteen men and women aged about 59 were split into three groups: dance, supervised cycling/treadmill training, or no exercise. Both active groups improved cardiopulmonary fitness, with dancers showing gains in oxygen uptake and artery dilation, suggesting social engagement may boost adherence.
