“…According to Darby and Garret [2], there are many forms of dance and many require a combination of strength, power, flexibility, cardiorespiratory fitness, and motor coordination. Physical condition encompasses much more than specific dance steps.…”

“…Physical condition encompasses much more than specific dance steps. Darby and Garret [2] state that with improved physical condition, dance performance and self-confidence can be increased. The need to explore the concept of physical fitness (PF) in dancers shows up, which corresponds to the development of health-and skill-related attributes that are associated with the academic performance in youth [3].…”

PurposeThe aim of this study was to characterize and compare the motor competence and physical fitness in dancers of different styles considering age, body mass index, and physical activity level (min/week).MethodsOverall, 17 female dancers aged 13–31 years (18.00 ± 4.80) participated in this study. The sample was divided into 2 groups: (1) dancers who practised up to 3 styles (n = 10); (2) dancers who practised 4 or more styles (n = 7). The Fit School and Motor Competence Assessment test batteries were applied to analyse physical fitness and motor competence, respectively. All variables were tested for normal distribution by using the Shapiro-Wilk test. For continuous variables, the t-test was used and for nominal variables, the chi-square test was employed. For those that did not follow normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney U-test was applied.ResultsFor either motor competence or physical fitness, the number of dance styles did not exert any influence. Furthermore, no significant differences were found for between-group comparisons.ConclusionsThe total group fell within the average reference values in all the physical fitness tests, with the exception of the 20-m multistage maximum shuttle run test. With regard to the number of dance styles practised, no differences between groups were observed for either motor competence or physical fitness.
