Abstract
Dance, a type of art that generally refers to the rhythmic body movement, is performed in many different cultures. It provides an energetic, non-competitive form of exercise which has potential positive impacts on physical health and may enhance fitness level. On the other hand, pulmonary function test is a non invasive and simple technique used for the assessing lung function status. Practicing dancing as a physical activity may have some impact on lung function variables. In this backdrop a study was conducted to assess the effect of dancing exercise on the pulmonary function indices in terms of VC, FEV1, FEV1%, PEFR in the 31 adolescent Bengalee females receiving training in Bharatnatyam dancing. It has been found that individuals receiving dancing training have significant (P <0.05) favorable impact on pulmonary status compared to control group consisting of 39 individuals of same age and socio economic status.
