Effects of Music-with-Movement on Cognitive and Physical Performance of People With Potentially Reversible Cognitive Frailty: a Randomised Controlled Trial
Sponsor: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effects of Music-with-Movement Simultaneous Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task Training (MM-SDTT) on cognitive and physical performance in older adults with cognitive frailty coexisting with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and physical frailty. Research Questions: 1. Will the treatment group show greater improvement in global cognitive functions than the social control group at Week 16? 2. Will the treatment group show greater improvements in both cognitive, physical performance and psychosocial well-being than the social control group at Weeks 16 and 28? Methodology: Participants in the Treatment Group: * Undergo a 16-week intervention comprising: 1. Once-weekly center-based training supervised by a physical coach 2. Twice-weekly home-based training using provided training videos Participants in the Social Control Group: * Engage in once-weekly social gatherings and receive remedial training after data collection is completed.

Interventions
music-based cognitive-motor dual-task training/exercise
Participants is engaged in 4 sessions for each training, including rhythmic marching, singing familiar songs, dance workout with elastic bands and stretching exercise with relaxing music. This combination of physical and cognitive activities aims to improve overall well-being by integrating music and movement, making the exercise both enjoyable and beneficial for mental and physical health. Rhythmic aerobic exercises to music focuses on rhythm and movement accuracy. Listening and singing familiar songs is cognitively stimulating. Dance workout allows strength and endurance training with music. Stretching exercise with relaxing music improves the range of movement in major muscle and tendon groups.
Social Gatherings
Participants in the social control group will have a social gathering at the participating center once weekly over the 16 weeks. They will also continue to receive the usual care offered by the centers, such as social support, and health education.
