Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Ballroom dance has evolved from a simple self-taught part of folklore to a technical, performative, and artistic competitive dance called the International Standard Dance. Objective: Study the effects of special lower limb strength training on the physical stability of dancers. Methods: 20 volunteers, students of a university specialized in dance, were divided into experimental and control groups, undergoing training of 30 minutes daily, 3 times a week, for 3 months. The control group followed the daily training, while the experimental group received special lower limb strength training. The relevant physical data measured before and after the intervention were statistically analyzed. Results: Compared to the control group, there was a significant difference in the athletes of the experimental group (P<0.05). The experimental group's lower limb strength and special skills were significantly improved. Conclusion: The lower extremity strength training protocol significantly improved the dancers’ muscle strength, proportionally increasing the stability of the sports skills. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
