A Single Pole Dancing Session and Its Effects on Blood Pressure
Sponsor: Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina
Summary
This study aimed to evaluate the acute blood pressure (BP) response after a single pole dance (PD) session in adult women. Twenty-one young women (\<31 years old) with normal BP and previous PD experience participated. Each subject completed one experimental session (60-minute PD class) and one control session (60 minutes seated), on different days, in randomized order. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were measured at baseline, immediately after, and at 15, 30, and 45 minutes post-session.

Pole Dance
In the experimental session, participants underwent a PD class lasting 60 minutes. Initially, a warm-up (\~15 min) was carried out involving joint mobility movements and muscle stretching, followed by an initial part (\~10) marked by muscle strengthening and resistance exercises, execution of turns and low plane transitions. The second part of the class (\~15 min) was dedicated to learning and executing movements and aerial transitions using the static pole, while, in the third part of the class (\~15 min), sequences of movements on the spinning pole were worked on, finishing with a passive stretch to return to calm (\~5 min). At the end of the class, subjective rate of perceived exertion (RPE) was collected using the modified Borg scale \[17\] (0-10), with the aim of evaluating the intensity perception of the session.
