Objetivo: determinar si la práctica aguda y crónica con el videojuego Dance Dance Revolution (DDR®) produce una mejora significativa en la atención, concentración, balance estático y balance dinámico en personas adultas mayores. Materiales y Método: Se administró un tratamiento de 15 sesiones con el video juego Dance Dance Revolution a 27 personas adultas mayores con edad promedio de 63.15 ± 5.79 años, quienes fueron asignados aleatoriamente a un grupo experimental y control. Se aplicó una batería de pruebas (TUAG, Plataforma de fuerza, Efecto Stroop y Toulouse Pierón) antes y después de la primera sesión y al finalizar la sesión 15. Resultados: El análisis de varianza mostró las siguientes interacciones significativas: TUAG (EA, p= 0.0001; EC, p= 0.0001), Stroop (EA, p= 0.0001; EC, p= 0.0001), Toulousse Pierón (EA, p= 0.015; EC, p= 0.002). En los componentes del balance estático se encontraron las siguientes interacciones significativas: DS [Fz/m] (EA, p= 0.015; EC, p= 0.004), VCopy (EC, p= 0.0001), DS Copx (EC, p= 0.006). Conclusión: La práctica del exergame DDR®, se mejora significativamente el balance dinámico y la atención. No se apoya la mejora de la concentración y el balance estático.
Abstract. Objective: to determine whether acute and chronic practice of the video game “Dance Dance Revolution” produces significant improvements in attention, concentration, and static and dynamic balance in elderly. Methods: 15 treatment sessions with the video game “Dance Dance Revolution” were administered to 27 senior citizens with mean age of 63.15 ± 5.79 years, who were randomly assigned to either an experimental or control group. A battery of tests was applied (TUAG, force platform, Stroop Effect and Toulouse Pieron) before and after the first session and after session 15. Results: Analysis of variance showed the following significant interactions: TUAG (EA, p= 0.0001; EC, p= 0.0001), Stroop (EA, p= 0.0001; EC, p= 0.0001), and Toulousse Pierón (EA, p= 0.015; EC, p= 0.002). In the components of the static balance, significant interactions were found as follows: DS [Fz/m] (EA, p= 0.015; EC, p= 0.004), VCopy (EC, p= 0.0001), and DS Copx (EC, p= 0.006). Conclusion: The practice of the exergame DDR® significantly improved dynamic balance and attention. Improvement of concentration and static balance is not supported
