From the registry
This is a two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effects of an immersive virtual reality (VR)-based group dance program on perceived social cohesion among community-dwelling older adults, compared with a dose-matched conventional light physical activity program. A total of 180 eligible participants (men and women) will be randomized (1:1) to either the VR group dance condition or the control condition. Both interventions are delivered three times per week for five weeks (15 sessions total). The primary outcome is perceived social cohesion, measured using the Perceived Cohesion Scale (PCS) at baseline, post-intervention (week 5), and 30-day follow-up. Sex differences in response to the intervention will be examined as a secondary objective. This study has been approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of Capital University of Physical Education and Sports (Approval No. IEC/CUPES/345KJB).
