Summary

With our study, we aim to contribute to the literature by determining the effects of core stabilization and resistance exercise applications on muscle strength, endurance, balance, flexibility and performance in latin dancers. It is also aimed to raise awareness of the necessity of an exercise program in order to improve physical fitness parameters in addition to dance training in dancers. Considering the physiological demands of dance and dancer, it is necessary to develop a dance-specific approach by blending physical condition and art. Our study aims to contribute in this context.

Detailed description

Within the scope of our study, the voluntary participation of 36 Latin dancers was planned. Dancers will be randomly divided into two groups, core stabilization exercises in one group and resistance exercises in the other group. An evaluation form developed by the researchers will be used as a data collection tool in the research. Before starting the study, a form containing demographic data (gender, age, height, weight, educational status) and medical history (chronic illness, previous injury, eating disorder) of the participants will be filled. Before starting the training, sit and stand test will be applied to evaluate the lower extremity muscle strength to evaluate the physical fitness parameters of the dancers, the plank test to evaluate the endurance, the Y balance test to evaluate the balance, the sit and reach test to evaluate the flexibility and the squat jump test to evaluate the performance. After the evaluation process, an exercise program for 6 weeks, 2 days a week and approximately 30-45 minutes (including warm-up and cool-down) will be applied for both groups. Core exercises will be applied to the 1st group, and resistance exercises will be applied to the 2nd group. Progress during the program will be achieved by increasing the intensity of the exercises. After 6 weeks of work, physical fitness parameters and performance will be evaluated again.
