Most of them lived a sedentary lifestyle, only a few exercised regularly.<\/p>\n<p>-The study was focused to evaluate their aerobic fitness, mental capabilities and a comprehensive brain scan.<\/p>\n<p>-The participants were further into divided into smaller groups in which some followed a program of brisk walking (an hour everyday for three days a week), whereas others did simple stretching and balance training (three times a week) and others learnt to dance (three times a week for an hour).<\/p>\n<p>-Post six months, the brain activity of the participants was monitored. <strong>Slight improvement in the degeneration of the white matter of the volunteers (who lived a sedentary lifestyle) but practiced dancing lately was observed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Participants who practiced dance showcased significant changes in the biochemistry of the brain such as increase in the thickness and quantity of the wiring of the brain.<\/p>\n<p>-Almost all the groups performed much better in the thinking tests.
