Abstract

The purpose of this study was to predict the intensity of each item in Latin American dances and display the scientific exercise prescription to the dancers for the dance competition. Dance sports players(n=12) were tested with physical fitness test and cardiopulmonary exercise test(Bruce protocol). The heart rate, VO2 max, and energy consumption were measured during the simulated competition(Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Jave, Samba, Paso Doble). The physical fitness test results showed significant differences. The sit and reach test in woman players was significantly higher than that in man player. Back strength in man players(127.25±16.13) were higher than that in woman players(75.83±11.26). cardiopulmonary exercise test(Bruce protocol) displayed that VO2 max, VE max, HR max, exercise time, and VO2 at VT in man players were significantly higher than those in woman players. In order to get the data of heart rate and relative intensity of exercise during the simulated competition, the heart rate was measured in each competition item. Players got the enough rest time in each item during measuring the heart rate. The heart rate and relative intensity of exercise did not show any significant difference. However, the relative intensities of Cha Cha Cha and Rumba in woman players was higher than those in man players. The relative intensities of Samba and Paso Doble in woman players were higher than those in man players. The relative intensity of Jave showed significant difference between man and woman players. Dance players performed one dance item for 1minutes 30 seconds, got the 10 seconds of rest time and performed next dance item. The recovering heart rate of Rumba at 50 seconds in man players(111.17±11.41) was significantly higher than that in woman players. The heart rate in each item and recovering heart rate did not show any significant differences between man and woman players. No significant difference was found for man and woman players in lactin acid cardiopulmonary exercise test(Bruce protocol). Dance sports is a non-aerobic exercise performed during one minute 30 seconds. However, five items were performed for 9minutes during the simulated competition. Dance sports may be an aerobic exercise as the results of the energy consumption and the heart rate during the simulated competition. Therefore, dance trainers may give the guidance of physical fitness improvement programs throughout the analysis of physical fitness, not only support the adaptation of the dance routine.
