About this study
Official title: Evaluating the Effects of Online Group Mindfulness-based Dance/Movement Therapy on Physical Activity and Whole-Person Health in Older Adults
This randomized controlled trial will examine whether an online, group-based Mindfulness-based Dance/Movement Therapy (M-DMT) intervention can increase physical activity and improve whole-person health among sedentary older adults. M-DMT combines mindful movement, creative expression, and interpersonal connection to support physical, cognitive, emotional, and social well-being. Participants will be randomly assigned to either M-DMT or the Stony Brook Health Education Program (HEP). The study will evaluate changes in physical activity, measured through self-report and accelerometry, as well as multiple dimensions of whole-person health. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, immediately following the 12-week intervention, and at a 3-month follow-up. Qualitative interviews will further explore participants' experiences with the interventions and their perceived effects on health and daily life.
Read the detailed description
Regular physical activity supports healthy aging by helping older adults maintain physical and cognitive functioning, independence, and quality of life. Despite these benefits, many older adults do not engage in sufficient physical activity. Accessible interventions that address both physical activity and broader dimensions of health are needed to support healthy aging.
This study will evaluate an online Mindfulness-based Dance/Movement Therapy (M-DMT) intervention designed to promote physical activity and whole-person health among sedentary older adults. M-DMT integrates mindfulness practices with dance/movement therapy to encourage participants to explore movement in ways that are responsive to their individual abilities, physical sensations, and emotional experiences. Through mindful awareness, creative movement, and group interaction, the intervention aims to support enjoyment of movement, confidence in physical activity, and social connection.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two online group interventions: M-DMT or the Stony Brook Health Education Program (HEP). The study will use a mixed-methods approach to examine intervention outcomes and participants' experiences.
The primary objective is to determine whether M-DMT produces greater improvements in physical activity compared with HEP. Physical activity will be assessed using self-report measures and accelerometry.
The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects of M-DMT on whole-person health, including physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. The study will examine whether participation in M-DMT is associated with improvements across these interconnected dimensions of health.
An exploratory objective is to investigate potential mechanisms through which M-DMT may influence physical activity and health outcomes. These include physical activity self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, mindful awareness, and perceived social support. The study will examine whether changes in these factors are associated with changes in physical activity.
Quantitative assessments will be conducted at baseline, immediately following the 12-week intervention, and at a 3-month follow-up. Qualitative interviews will explore participants' experiences, perceived benefits, and factors that facilitate or hinder engagement in the interventions.
Findings from this study will inform the development and potential implementation of accessible, remotely delivered mind-body interventions to promote physical activity and whole-person health among older adults.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Mindfulness-based Dance/Movement TherapyBehavioural
Mindfulness-based Dance/Movement Therapy (M-DMT) is a 12-week, online, group-based behavioral intervention that integrates mindfulness practices with dance/movement therapy to promote physical activity and whole-person health among sedentary older adults. The intervention incorporates mindful movement, creative expression, body awareness, and interpersonal interaction. Participants are encouraged to explore movements that accommodate their individual physical abilities and emotional experiences while developing greater confidence, enjoyment, and motivation for physical activity. Sessions are facilitated by a trained dance/movement therapist through a secure videoconferencing platform.
Stony Brook Health Education Program (HEP)Behavioural
The Stony Brook Health Education Program (HEP) is a 12-week, online, group-based behavioral intervention designed to provide older adults with health-related information and opportunities for social interaction. Sessions involve structured health education and facilitated group discussions addressing topics relevant to healthy aging and general well-being. The program does not incorporate formal mindfulness practices, dance/movement therapy, or structured physical activity exercises. HEP serves as an active comparison condition to account for nonspecific effects associated with group participation, facilitator attention, and engagement in a structured online health program.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Mindfulness-based Dance/Movement Therapy | Experimental | Participants assigned to this arm will receive a 12-week online, group-based Mindfulness-based Dance/Movement Therapy (M-DMT) intervention. The intervention integrates mindfulness practices, creative movement, and therapeutic group interaction to promote physical activity and whole-person health among sedentary older adults. Sessions will encourage participants to engage in movement that is responsive to their individual physical abilities, sensations, and emotional experiences while fostering mindful awareness, self-expression, and social connection. Receives: Behavioral: Mindfulness-based Dance/Movement Therapy |
| Health Enhancement Program | Active comparator | Participants assigned to this arm will receive a 12-week online, group-based health education intervention. The program will provide health-related information and opportunities for group discussion to support general health and well-being among older adults. Unlike M-DMT, the program will not incorporate structured mindfulness practices, dance/movement therapy, or experiential movement activities. This condition serves as an active comparator to help distinguish the effects of M-DMT from those associated with participation in an online group-based health program. Receives: Behavioral: Stony Brook Health Education Program (HEP) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Self-Reported Physical Activity
Self-reported physical activity will be assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), which measures physical activity during the previous seven days. Weekly minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) will be calculated from reported frequency and duration of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activities. Higher values indicate greater physical activity. The primary outcome will be the change in weekly MVPA minutes from baseline to immediately following the 12-week intervention.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12, and approximately Week 24
Secondary outcomes (7)
Accelerometer-Measured Physical Activity
Objective physical activity will be assessed using a study-provided accelerometer worn over seven consecutive days at each assessment period.Accelerometry will be used to estimate time spent in different physical activity intensity categories, including light, moderate, and vigorous activity. Changes in device-measured activity will be compared between intervention groups.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12, and approximately Week 24
Lower-Body Physical Function
Lower-body physical function will be assessed by counting the number of times a participant can rise from a seated position to standing and return to sitting within 30 seconds.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12, and approximately Week 24
Static Balance
Static balance will be assessed using the Four-Stage Balance Test, which evaluates the ability to maintain progressively challenging standing positions. Participants will attempt each position for up to 10 seconds. Balance performance will be characterized by the number of successfully completed positions and/or the highest balance stage achieved, according to the prespecified scoring procedure.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12, and approximately Week 24
Cognitive function
Cognitive processing speed and attention will be assessed using the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT).
Measured: Baseline, Week 12, and approximately Week 24
Self-Reported Health Outcomes
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29-item Profile (PROMIS-29) will assess multiple dimensions of health, including physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and pain interference, along with pain intensity. Physical Function: Four items are scored from 1 to 5 and summed to produce a raw score ranging from 4-20. Higher scores indicate better physical functioning; Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities: Score ranges from 4 to 20. Higher scores indicate better social functioning. [Anxiety/Depression/Fatigue/Sleep Disturbance/Pain Interference]:four items scored from 1 to 5. The raw score ranges from 4 to 20. Higher scores indicate greater [anxiety/depressive symptoms/fatigue/sleep disturbance/pain interference]. Single pain-intensity item assessing average pain during the past 7 days. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12, and approximately Week 24
Psychological Well-Being
Psychological well-being will be assessed using the five-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5). The measure evaluates positive mood, vitality, and general well-being during the preceding two weeks.Each item is scored from 0 to 5. Raw scores are summed and range from 0 to 25; the raw score may be multiplied by 4 to produce a percentage score ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better psychological well-being.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12, and approximately Week 24
Whole-person health
Whole-person health will be assessed using the Whole Person Health Index, a self-report instrument evaluating perceived health across interconnected dimensions of well-being, including physical health, emotional well-being, social relationships, lifestyle behaviors, and health management. Each item is scored from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent), and the nine items are summed to produce a total score ranging from 9 to 45. Higher scores indicate better overall self-assessed whole-person health.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12, and approximately Week 24
