| Abstract | Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cover dance on physical fitness in routine cover dance practice adolescents.Methods: Sixty-four healthy adolescents, aged 15-24 years were recruited from Phayao Province. Participants were divided into two groups: cover dance group (n=32) and non-cover dance group (n=32). Their physical fitness components including percent body fat, muscular flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance and cardiovascular endurance were measured. The group differences for physical fitness components were analyzed by Independent samples t-test.Results: There were no significant differences between two groups (p>0.05) for all physical fitness components.Conclusion: Routine cover dance practices among adolescent participants did not promote physical fitness, although cover dance practices were at least 40 minutes per day, 3 days a week period. This might be explained that characteristic of routine cover dance practices in adolescent participants in Phayao province had no warm up phase as well as short movement and discontinued pattern. |
