A comparison of the metabolic effects of high and low impact aerobic dance exercise

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the physiological responses associated with two aerobic dance class designs, a high impact aerobic (HIA) class and a low impact aerobic (LIA) class. The HIA class involved 25 minutes of HIA followed by 15 minutes of strength exercise. The LIA class contained 40 minutes of LIA. Subjects consisted of nine female volunteers (age 29.9 yrs ± 4.1 yrs) who participated regularly (3 times/week) in aerobic exercise classes (mean VO 2max , 43.2 ± 3.4 ml·min -1· kg -1 ). Subjects were evaluated in both classes on separate days. HR was measured continuously by telemetry and blood lactate was measured before, six times during and at the end of a class. A linear regression on HR-VO 2max was plotted to estimate the VO 2 during a class. Mean heart rate (161 ± 21 b·min -1 vs 144 ± 27 b·min -1 ), VO 2 (35.3 + 4.3 ml·min -1 ·kg -1 vs 31.8 ± 5. ml·min -1 ·kg -1 ) and total energy expenditure (2237 kJ·person -1 vs 2008 kJ·person -1 ) were all significantly higher (p 0.05) during the LIA compared with the HIA class. Group mean blood lactate concentration was not different at rest between groups, but was significantly higher in the HIA group in 6 of the 7 exercise/post-exercise measurements than in the LIA group. The results indicate that both class formats provide sufficient intensity and duration for cardiovascular conditioning. Furthermore, the HIA class produced a greater metabolic stress (kJ energy expenditure) than the LIA class regardless of the group mean HR achieved during the class.

Characterization of dance-based protocols used in rehabilitation - A systematic review

“…The parameters evaluated were equilibrium, strength of lower limbs, flexibility, fatigue, functional autonomy, posture, physical activity, quality of life, depression, cognitive function, oxygen consumption, and heart rate compared to the results of the control groups. There were no significant changes in the control group but in the dance therapy group for each of the categories [ 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 86 , 87 , 88 ].…”

“…It is worth noting that in the intervention, more specifically in the central phase, most of the types of dance were used, except for the Karatrantou K [ 48 ] protocol which combined it with calisthenics. Sousa, F.E [ 85 ] carried out dance intervention every 72 h and Tarrant, K [ 88 ] implemented 25-minute dance-only interventions.…”

“… 12 interventions Aerobic dance: This type of dance was used most when implementing the protocols. It included instructions for postures, movements and stretching techniques, leg bounce movements, forward and backward movement, jumping, shoulder movements, arm stretches, trunk stretch, trunk, hip and chest rocking and bending, 10-inch bench interval training with alternate steps with equal periods of aerobic dance patterns, basic up and down steps, lunges, straddle steps, along with coordinated arm movements and knee bends, heel up, boxing, shoulder movement, kicks, square steps, rowing exercises, and balance exercises [ 31 , 37 , 48 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 62 , 64 , 77 , 78 , 87 , 88 ]. Finally, 3 protocols were identified that did not specify the type of dance used [ 21 , 39 , 68 ].…”
