The Effect of Recreational Rhythmic Gymnastics’ Training Programs on Older Women’s Manual Dexterity: A Randomized Trial
The RG program with apparatus significantly improved manual dexterity in older women and maintained these improvements over time. Significance/Implications: RG programs with apparatus can enhance manual dexterity in older women and, in turn, promote functional independence in older adults, supporting its inclusion in exercise programs for this population. Future studies should also include male participants and frail populations.
