A Culturally Significant Cardiovascular Dance-based Intervention in Obese Women
Sponsor: Universidad Catolica Silva Henriquez
Summary
The objective of this study is to analyze a culturally relevant cardiovascular dance-based intervention called Fitfolk in overweight or obese Mapuche women from a rural community in Padre las Casas. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group that will receive a culturally relevant cardiovascular dance program (EG, n=11), and a control group that will receive a conventional physical exercise program (CG, n=11). Both groups will be trained at a community center in the same rural area, led by a physical education professional. The principle of training progression will be followed, and they will exercise three times per week with sessions of approximately one hour for 12 weeks. Physical health parameters, quality of life, motivation, and barriers to physical exercise will be assessed.
