Effects of a 12-Week Waltz Dance Intervention on Cardiovascular Health in Women Aged 45-65 With Dyslipidemia

Sponsor: Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether Waltz dance can improve cardiometabolic and bone health in sedentary women aged 45-65 with abnormal lipid levels. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can Waltz dance improve blood lipid profiles, including total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, and LDL-C? Can it improve body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, vascular function, and bone mineral density? Researchers will compare a Waltz dance group with a control group that maintains their usual lifestyle to see if the dance intervention leads to better health outcomes. Participants will: Attend supervised Waltz dance classes three times a week for 12 weeks, each session lasting 105 minutes. Complete physical tests and blood draws before and after the program to measure changes in lipid levels, body composition, fitness, and bone density. Wear an accelerometer to monitor energy expenditure and physical activity during the program.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Waltz Dance

Participants in this arm will receive a structured Waltz dance intervention as moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. The program consists of 3 supervised sessions per week for 12 weeks, each lasting 105 minutes. Each session includes a 5-minute warm-up, 50 minutes of solo and partner Waltz practice, a 5-minute rest, 40 minutes of choreographed combinations, and a 5-minute cool-down. The dance routines are progressive and designed to improve cardiovascular fitness, coordination, and balance. Exercise intensity is maintained at 50-70% of estimated maximum heart rate, with music tempo and movement complexity adjusted as needed. Physical activity is monitored using accelerometers to ensure target intensity is achieved.
