Abstract
The Effect of Learning Sogo Dance on the Brain Functions of Elderly Women: ×


This study sought to identify the effects of Sogo dance learning on brain function in elderly women. To this end, the subjects of the study consisted of 15 experimental groups participating in the practice and 15 non-participating control groups, with the practice period of 60 minutes twice a week for 12 weeks. Each group measured brain functional analysis with Electroencephalogram(EEG) before and after the experiment, and two-way ANOVA was conducted to determine the difference between group (small dance, control group) and period (pre-post) using SPSS 25.0 (IBM, USA). All statistical significance levels were p<.The following conclusions were obtained as a result of setting it to 05. First, the brain function index, which varied between the groups, showed significant changes in five brain function indices: basic rate coefficient (left brain, right brain), attention index (left brain, right brain), active index (left brain, right brain). Second, the brain function index, which differed over time showed significant differences in total of five brain function indices: self-regulation index, basic rhythm index (left brain), attention index (right brain), emotional index, and brain index. These findings could scientifically prove the unique characteristics and intrinsic value of Korean dance through the utilization value of Sogo Dance, and it is hoped that brain science-based dance research will take place in many ways
