This study examined the effects of a six-week low-impact aerobic dance on selected fitness components (trunk flexibility, leg power and abdominal muscle endurance) and waist-hip-ratio (WHR) in adult males. A total of fifteen (15) Lagos State University male undergraduates (age range: 19-28 years) from the Faculty of Education volunteered to take part in the study. The one-group pre-test-post-text quasi-experimental research design was employed. Both pre-test and post-test measurements were taken from each participant under the same conditions. Participants were all exposed to a low-impact aerobic dance for a duration of six weeks. While the descriptive statistics of mean, range and standard deviation were used to describe the data; inferences were drawn using the Students" paired T-test. Results revealed that a six-week low-impact aerobic dance programme can significantly reduce the waist-hip-ratios, improve trunk flexibility, leg power and abdominal endurance/strength in male undergraduate students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
