Abstract
IntroductionMost young adults do not achieve the recommended physical activity, and physical inactivity thus is a worldwide public health problem contributing to premature death. Although Thai dance has been reported to increase physical activity, a small number of studies have reported on the impact of Manorah. Herein Manorah is a signature traditional dramatic art of Southern Thailand. The present study aimed to reveal the effects of Manorah training on health-related variables. MethodsThirty-four young females were divided into two groups, where one group underwent Manorah training and the other represented the control. Manorah training was performed for 45 min/day, 3 days/week for 4 weeks. Median neural tension, balance, flexibility, and muscle endurance were determined. ResultsManorah significantly decreased nerve tension (p < 0.001). Physical fitness was also markedly improved after the training. ConclusionsThis Manorah program may be recommended as an exercise and an intervention for symptoms related to positive tension.
