ENHANCEA scientific study
With The University of Kent and published in 2020.
The Enhance Project was undertaken as a way to find out what it is that Active Armchairs does for participants, but it became much more than that. The Nesta standards of evidence were used to ensure the highest standards of research and that lead to a much larger project with many elements.
The project report outlines what was included in the project and explains the results. University of Kent PhD Student, Ian Farr’s short report is included. This is a short version of the full report that will be written for his PhD.
“The current study shows an increase in physical activity and associated benefits to physical and mental health when care home residents take part in Active Armchairs dance workshops.”
